It'd be nice if our library could be sorted, similarly to how the Advanced Search lets you choose how the results are sorted. Shouldn't be difficult on a technical level... but maybe it hasn't been done because it's resource intensive?



Additionally, it'd be great if there was a way to search only within the library contents.

I don't know if this would be more or less intensive than a normal search... but I feel like it should be less? Because it only has to search the titles within the library, as opposed to searching EVERY title.

I'm not going to bother suggesting the "exclude library titles from search results" that has already been posted multiple times.

I already feel like this would require a lot more resources to execute... because it'd have to:
  1. Perform the search
  2. Hold onto the results
  3. Fetch the user's library
  4. Remove library titles from search results
  5. display 1 page worth of results
    ...
  6. Repeat all five steps when the next page of results is requested.
    (unless the site stores multiple pages of results in a cookie, so it can just request the next set without needing to perform all the work again until going past the last pre-stored page.)
