Finding books on my new Android

Just starting to work out this beta, so just in case I've missed something:

a) I'm having difficulty matching resources that have an apostrophy in the name, such as Who's Who.

b) I'm having difficulty specifying whole words, e.g. books by Moo (without returning lots by Moore and others).

c) My hidden resources aren't hidden (e.g. books in Latin).

I can't specify columns (e.g. type:commentary) or operators (e.g. AND), but I imagine that's what the FAQ means by "Library list sorting and filtering" as a future feature.

Will have to figure out how to get a better font too (to avoid those square boxes).

Any help/tips appreciated. Happy to be patient if there's no solution yet.

    Hi Allen

    Sorry but all the things you have listed are current limitations - with the possible exception of the font issue. What are you seeing there?

    Thanks, Graham. Good to know. Happy to wait. (Matching the apostrophy is the only one that could be considered a buy anyway.)

    The font in some books shows a square for characters it doesn't recognise (such as an em-dash). I can live with it. Think I read an article somewhere on modifying the  font, but I can't recall the context (may not have been Android).

    Appreciated.
