Touchstone for a one-word common title

I am trying to get the correct touchstone for:

Father, by Elizabeth von Arnim

but Father brings up so many possibilities that I can't even scroll through them all--my "scroll" stops.

If there is a solution, or better way to search the touchstones, please let me know.

If you still want a list, use the left-bracket-title-comma-author-right-bracket syntax.

[Father, von Arnim] = Father, von Arnim

Lesmel! I never knew that! Thanks for the tip.

But this is a good example of why sorting by popularity (?) just because a word appears in the title is the opposite of helpful.

>2 lesmel: I knew there had to be a way--thank YOU!
>3 lilithcat: Yep. Seems like "FATHER" or "THE FATHER" or "A FATHER" would come at the top of the list, and then titles with additional words would come later.

>2 lesmel: However, doing it this way would then have the touchstone show up in a post as the title PLUS author, correct? (as you have in your post).

So therefore, there's no way to leave out the author from the touchstone, because once I remove the author and only have the title, we're back to the same problem, correct?

>5 kac522: Correct. Alternatively, you can use the work_id::title syntax. That does not require you use the "others" link at all

[1163165::Father] = Father

This syntax also does weird things like... [1163165::Happy Title Here] = Happy Title Here

>3 lilithcat: You can also do [von Arnim, Father] = von Arnim, Father or partials...
Brink, Elizabeth | Father, Yonge | Herodotus, Elizabeth | Elizabeth, Moon

>2 lesmel: >6 lesmel: >7 lesmel: Thank you, lesmel, that's very helpful!

Yes, very helpful! Thank you.

>2 lesmel: that is great, thanks!

Lucy is working on a better search index so that one word title matches are ranked better in site searches and touchstone results. I'm hopeful she can find a good solution.

>11 conceptDawg: Thanks for the update; good to know.

Update to sitesearch should have resolved this problem.
