I'll just do a c&p of what I posted on the Georgette Heyer Fans Group.

At the moment GR functionality is a total nightmare.

First bug is that books are not coming up in search, even searching by ISBN.

Another bug (for some members only) is that you can't see your friends reviews. You can see their ratings & shelvings but have to go into your general feed to see your friends' reviews. But some reviews are fine.

As you can imagine, the Librarian Group is not a lot of fun atm, as people can't find their books so are adding them again or requesting the books be added for them. The moderator has been deleting the threads, but she will be off for Shabbat soon.

Announcement here (about search) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) Thanks for the update, Carol! I am one of the ones who hasn't gotten my daily update with people's reviews for a couple of weeks.

Yes I'm going to try to stay out of the Librarians group for a couple of days!

Carolien (carolien_s) | 125 comments Thanks, Carol. I've had the issue with searching for books and assumed it was just me (grateful to know it is not). I am not receiving any messages either at the moment, so I hope somebody will be able to sort it out soon.

Search appears to be working - well working as well as it ever does!

You get the best results searching by ISBNs -or ASIN for Kindles.
