[flavo5000]

I have just finished the word counts on this project, which I see in your list, and will launch it shortly as a group project.

Algernon Blackwood
Incredible Adventures (1914) [100,679 word count]

Ah, I was actually planning on doing that as a solo soon. But I guess you can do it as a group if you want.

Ah, well there is plenty of room for two versions! I was also considering putting up each of the long stories as a separate solo, so they'd be searchable in the catalog by title. That might work even better for you.

Eh, there are too many out there unrecorded to bother recording two versions of something. I'll just find something else to do for my next long one.

It is always nice to search for a title and THERE IT IS, on LIBRIVOX! Our expanding library is a thing of beauty!

I wish the search function could just be improved to search within single author collections. There are a lot of them that people just miss because the search excludes them.

You are not alone in wishing that. Can it be done?

I've also queried why books which contain short stories can't be treated the same as our other story and essay collections, which are searchable by story title. It would make visible SO MUCH buried material within our projects. I can't remember what the explanation was, but I bet someone who knows will come along and tell us. Or maybe if you ask nice, they will change the policy, or make it dependent upon circumstances. A book with 5-10 short stories could be a different case than a book of 50-100-300 poems.

That's what I meant. If the book is setup as a multi-author collection with the metadata entered, it is available for search. This is why stuff like the Short Story Collections will come back in searches. Technically, you could make a single author collection searchable if you set it up as a multi-author collection and just set the same author for every section of the collection. I doubt it's something that can easily be changed since it has to do with how the search index in for the search engine is setup. It would probably require some code changes and they would need to re-index the database with the section title as a field that's searchable. It may also affect the performance of the database causing searches to get slower. I doubt the number of sections would make much of a difference for any of this.

All that to say, yea, probably not an easy thing to do which is why I'm sure they haven't done it yet.
