Currently the standard search lets you search by Author, Title, Series, Publisher, Year, ISBN and Tag. A search on Title returns all REVIEW, COVER ART and INTERIORART Titles, which makes it hard to find regular fiction. Suggest adding a new "Fiction Title" search and changing the current "Title" search to "All Titles".

    I think it might be better to simply make the current search into a fiction title search, and permit searches for REVIEW, COVER ART and INTERIORART only via Advanced Search. -DES

    I don't know how many of our users are sophisticated enough to use Advanced Search that way. Infrequent ISFDB-related comments on rec.arts.sf.written suggest that some posters are using it, but I suspect that most occasional users don't use Advanced search. If we decide to do this, we may want to add a big link to the Results page, which would say something like "This search doesn't include Reviews, Cover Art or Interior Art. To search for them, please use Advanced Search".
