First issue: https://verbum.com/search?context=product&sortBy=price-low&limit=60&page=1&view=list doesn't show the free Augsburg commentary among the $0.00 books, nor the $0.99 one between the $0.95 and the $1.00 books.

Second issue: It does show an awful lot of datasets and CS Lewis books that aren't the least bit free. Very annoying and not very honest.

Third issue: You need to tweak your search algorithm. A search for "augsburg corinthians" should put the 4 Augsburg commentaries on Corinthians at the top, not way way down the page, below lots of books that only include one of the search terms.

    Logos.com also does this.

    Thanks for the feedback. I will submit a few bug requests.

    The search algorithm is difficult to perfect. On Verbum.com we've weighted Catholic titles, and given a preference to title matches (so if you really want the Heidelberg Catechism, you can still get to it without sifting through false hits - however, if you're just looking for the Catechism, you won't get a plethora of non-Catholic titles) Because Augsburg isn't in the title, it doesn't outweigh the Catholic titles with an equal title match.

    I hope that makes sense. As I said, I'm relaying the other bugs.

    Thanks, again!
