Search String

Here’s an interesting thing.  The other day I was asked by an old friend from Seffrica where she could find one of my novels on Amazon, so I just told her to do a search for “Kim du Toit Prime Target” on their website.  Here was the search result:

Errrr what?

Puzzled, I tried one of the other novels:

No problem there… and likewise for all the other works I’ve published at Amazon.

Then I tried again, using just “Kim du Toit” as the search string, and lo and behold, they all showed up, including Prime Target:

Of course, trying to reach anyone at Amazon who could look at the problem is like trying to decipher the U.S. tax code at IRS.gov: opaque,  impossible and misleading.  Amazon must be the least-friendly organization on the planet when it comes to this kind of thing.

Anyway, here’s the link to Prime Target, in case anyone is still interested in a story about a government agency spying on U.S. citizens’ private data.

  1. I tried it several ways. Prime target alone got me more targets than you could shake a stick at – rifle, pistol, archery, an action archery deer – and the hits just kept on coming. Fell down a hole following an Angie Dickinson movie for a while there, too.

    “Prime Target” got me books, then targets. “Prime Target” kim du toit returned only four books, first being our hit. Thanks for pointing this out. I enjoyed the book.

  2. Bought household furniture from AmaBezos several years ago, and the actuating cable on a recliner failed …… do you think I could get a replacement part from them?
    They wouldn’t even talk to me because I hadn’t kept my “membership” active, though the wife has a Prime Account since day one, but that didn’t count since I had bought the furniture through MY account.
    FJB – yeah, that covers two people.
