It seems like I often work on these challenges right before lunch when I am hungry. So I chose Cooking for my search topic. I did a Visual Search and got 121 results. I did spend some time looking at the books, especially "Fast and Lean One-Dish Cuisine," and "Desserts Around the World." Then I repeated my search as a Basic Search. I must say I prefer the way the results are shown for the Basic Search. It was easier to see what the result were, easier to get into the books I selected., and even easier to read them!
For the Fairy Tale question, I did a basic search for Fairy Tales. There were 66 results, which I didn't think was too many to look through. So I began to scroll down the list, and numbers five through nine were books by Andrew Lang with colors in the titles (Violet Fairy Book, Blue Fairy Book, etc.). To determine how many titles are available, I did an Advanced Search for Fairy Tales and Lang in the Author field. There were six results, but one was not a "color" title, and one was a duplicate (Blue Fairy Book). So I found four different Fairy Tale books with colors in the titles (violet, blue yellow, and red). I know these are older titles, so I would ask Grandma if these are the books she remembers.
Thanks for your discoveries! Other bloggers have commented that they like the basic search better also. It is nice to have search options though!
