1. I'm not sure why the query
http://apollonius.us.archive.org:9071/api/search?q={%22query%22:[%22yiddish dictionary abelson%22]}&prettyprint=true&format=expanded
doesn't return the cover attribute. Anand, if you're reading this, any idea?

2. You can send in arbitrary lucene queries so you can say (for example) languages:eng (use the 3-letter MARC code for the language). The problem is that it returns few books because the language data is not there for the search to find. But if you add a bunch of records with language fields, the search engine can see those fields.
