Utilizing "Books" on FamilySearch More

I don't know if a lot of people utilize the "Books" section in FamilySearch.

It would be a great idea, on the person page, near the auto-fill search options for FamilySearch, Ancestry, Find My Past, etc., to also have one for "Books" on Family Search.

This way, someone could quickly click on that link to see if there are any books containing information about this ancestor on FamilySearch.

Thank you.

    By what magic trick would the system have any clue about books containing information about an ancestor?

    (In my experience, the Books section has a hard time finding a book by its author and exact title, nevermind by some random name inside it. In fact, I would say that the primary reason few people utilize this section is that it mostly doesn't work, and we've given up on it.)
