An older fiction hardcover book maybe published in the 80s early 90s? It was an older book, pretty thick but kid friendly.

Would you go to google with the search terms "hardcover fiction" and expect to find your book that way?

Your title should have some terms that you would include in google.

The topmost unsolved post in this sub right now has the title :

Looking for a short story about a man lost at sea

The next one reads:

Parallel fantasy world discovered and exploited over different times

and the third reads

80s kids book: picture of man who lives in a little cottage surrounded by a moat and uses a swan shaped boat to come and go

Do you see the difference between those titles and yours? Why do you think those titles got multiple upvotes, meaning more people get a chance even to see them?
