As a software engineering student, I conducted tests on the Open Library search tab and noticed an issue related to publication standards. According to publication guidelines, such as the Kindle standard
(https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GW7J4WEKBVU25YEC), book titles should not be directly linked to external URLs.
I observed that when conducting tests with the input "http://www" and a set of books were returned, which are actually links. Ideally, there should be a validation during book registration to prevent this from happening.
@SkywalkerSupreme -- as we encounter issues with data on Open Library (rather than the UI, etc) let's please open them on this repository, as we have a community of librarians who have access to tools to fix data.

Actual behavior: Search results contain book titles directly linked to external URLs, which violates publication standards.
