Smart order search

We're excited to introduce Order Search, a powerful new feature that makes finding and managing your book orders effortless.

What's New

You can now search through all your orders instantly using multiple methods:

  • Search by book title - Find orders containing specific books

  • Search by author name - Locate all orders with books by a particular author

  • Search by ISBN - Jump straight to orders containing a specific ISBN

  • Search by order name - Find orders by their custom names

  • Scan to search - Use your device camera to scan an ISBN barcode and find related orders

How It Works

Finding Orders by Book Content

The most powerful aspect of order search is the ability to search inside your orders. Looking for all orders that include books by a specific author? Just type their name. Need to find which order contains a particular title? Search for it directly.

Example scenarios:

  • Search for "Colleen Hoover" to see all orders containing her books

  • Search for "Fourth Wing" to find which orders include this title

  • Scan an ISBN barcode to instantly see if that book is in any pending orders

Finding Orders by Name

Every order has a name (either one you've assigned or an auto-generated one based on the order source). You can search by these names too.

Example:

  • Search for "Spring 2024" to find all orders you've labeled with that term

  • Search for "Ingram" to find orders imported from Ingram

Smart Search

The search is intelligent and flexible:

  • Partial matches work - Searching "fourth" will find "Fourth Wing"

  • Case doesn't matter - "COLLEEN HOOVER" and "colleen hoover" both work

  • ISBN formats supported - Works with both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13

How to Use It

  1. Navigate to your Orders page - Click "Orders" in the main navigation or search straight from the dashboard

  2. Enter your search - Type in the search bar at the top of the page, or click the camera icon to scan an ISBN

  3. View results instantly - Your matching orders appear immediately

  4. Click to open - Select any order to view its details and continue scanning

Tips

  • Active orders only - Toggle "Active only" to filter your search to unprocessed orders

  • Clear your search - Delete your search text to return to viewing all orders

  • Quick ISBN lookup - The fastest way to check if a book is in an order is to scan its barcode

Why it matters

Without order search, it can be time consuming or impossible to find a single order among many. Now you can:

  • Save time - Find orders in seconds instead of minutes

  • Reduce errors - Quickly verify if you've already ordered a book before placing a duplicate order

  • Better workflow - Use the camera scanner to check incoming shipments against your orders

  • Stay organized - Easily locate orders by author, title, or name even with hundreds of orders in the system
