Lisa (anzlitlovers) | 133 comments Hello, I hope someone can help me with a book issue I haven't had before. Yesterday (Feb 8th) I added the book Balkan Bombshells compiled and translated by Will Firth, ISBN 9781912545841 from Istros Books. Today, it still isn't searchable by Title.
When I tried to enter the title in the field above it yielded No Search Results, but when I put in the ISBN it showed up straight away.

If I search by author, it shows up in his list of titles. If I search by ISBN Search finds it. So *chuckle* It's definitely there in the GR database, but this seems not to be the usual 10-15 minute delay in a book being searchable. I added the book about 5pm Australian time Feb 8, now it's about 8:45 Feb 9 Australian time, i.e. about 16 hours later)
I have triple-checked my entries for this title, and even changed 'compiler' to 'editor' to see if that would work, but I can't find where I've made a mistake in adding this book.
Thanks for your help, GR volunteers make the world go round!

Hi Lisa

I think the caching takes longer now. I've seen some members not able to find their edition for up to 48 hours after it has been created.

If it takes longer than that I would contact Support.
