Most of my keyword searches on Smashwords end up with too many results and no way to filter them. I can't see a way to browse subcategories, or to specify in the search that I want all the keywords. For example - gay mysteries, or gay vampire fiction. The buttons for filtering that sometimes appear at the top (price, length, rating) are not offered when I get "Found 237723 results (Try using more keywords)". The FAQ didn't seem to have information on searching.

I'm currently trying to search Smashwords as a reader, but my problems with searching also concern me as an author.


Thanks for reading this!

Love the site modifer search in Google! You can also just do it with the following after your search term:

<search term> site:whateversiteyouwant.com

Very handy, thanks. It doesn't completely solve the immediate problem, but it helped.

Still hoping for something I can do on Smashwords so I can use their filters...
