It looks like there is no way to search or sort your projects list. Really? I have 87 projects on my account. Most of my print books used the (discontinued) retail discount, so all have to be compared to our own price list and updated.

I don't know if this has been a problem in the past, or if it is new with the site update, but I am often not finding my books when searching for the exact title. Even in searching for the title in quotes, the first results are books with similar titles, or books with an author whose name is one of the words in my title. Adding the author usually fixes this, but many people do not remember the author's name. Putting text in quotes seems to have no effect on the search. For instance, searching for "The Fox and the Rose", I have to go to the second page of search results to find the book titled "The Fox and the Rose", when sorting by "Most Relevant". Filtering search results by contributor seems to be completely undermined by including "contributors" with thousands of titles who have no apparent relevance to the search. In this example, filtering the search for the any of the top contributors gives many listings that do not contain the words "fox" or "rose" in the title, description, author name, keywords, or anywhere else. I can only assume it is matching on "of" and "the" ...? Another book with I've worked on does not show up in the first 100 results when searching for the exact title. For about half of the search results, the only similarity to my search it that they also have the word "handbook" in the title. Correction: I found it. It was not displayed because of the "adult content" filter. Also, changing the search parameters does not reset the page numbering. So if you were on page 9 of the search results, and then search for something entirely unrelated, you will be put on page 9 of those search results. This cannot be intentional.

searching projects... change it so it shows 50 titles at a time and then just use your computer's search feature, like you would on any webpage.
