Hi Emmzzi,
Thank you for contacting Kobo Customer Care.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that you may be experiencing.
If you are experiencing Search Result issues on the Kobo Web site, as a work around solution, we strongly suggest using your Google Search Engine.
For example:
Author's Name, Title of eBook and then write "Kobo."
In the result page of Google, if the eBook is available on our web site, one of the top links will direct you to the Book information of that selected title.
However, we at Kobo appreciate your feedback and we’re always looking for ways to improve our service.
Your suggestion will be forwarded to the Kobo Development Team for consideration.
Thank you for your interest in Kobo.
From:
The Kobo Team.
