Guys, we've spent a ton of time focused on the compatibility scores which are now working wonderfully! The weakest link now is the process of adding a book.
If you shelve 100 books you're bound to have trouble with a handful. Just so you know, we're all over this. It will be the next component we revamp. For now I'll just point out the error that is causing the biggest most havoc: hyphens, colons and other punctuation marks.
Let's say you just read - "Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit"
So you search for "Ishmael" No luck.
The problem is our system recognizes the first word of this title as "Ishmael:"
Or, another example, "Catch-22" won't appear unless you include the hyphen.
Yeah, this is being revamped, too.
Recently we tried adding a few variables to the formula and we got some strange results.
I'll keep you posted in the blog when we update this.
Once we do it will function much much better and eventually the scores will be much larger...in the hundreds.
Can't find your book?

Just watch-out for these omissions.
