Q: Understanding Apple iBooks Search Algorithm

A few months ago I uploaded an e-book pertaining to expert witnesses in the legal industry. To my understanding, Apple's search algorithm mostly uses the title, subtitle, author, and description to assess which books should appear for which keywords. However, my book isn't showing up for searches using terms that are clearly in the title and description.

 

I'm aware that just because a keyword is included doesn't mean my book will appear for that keyword, but I'm a little confused that some of the books appearing for the keyword seem completely irrelevant.

 

Can anyone shed some light on Apple's search algorithm or point me toward something I may be missing?
