Google is my preferred search engine. I use it for something or other
pretty much every day and yet I did not even think of clicking that button that
brings up the results that Google hides. That should explain why I was
getting a smaller than expected number of hits myself. By the way, it should be
pointed out for Google novices that if you are using the main Google search
field with advanced functions rather than going to the advanced search form it
is important to remember not to put a space after the colon.

Hi,
I had success with this two-step method. First, I went to Google and typed
in a line that looks like this.
publisher: o'reilly site:bookshare.org
That brought back 46 results. At the bottom of the search results there was
text that said that Google omitted similar results or something like that.
I
activated a link that brought back all of the results. I got about 1400
hits. That should cover all of the titles from that publisher. Now, if I find
an
advanced search query that brings back the omitted results in one step, I’
ll report it here. Otherwise, I’ll consider this dead horse beaten enough.
Thanks.
Jim

I didn't know I could search Bookshare by Publisher as I love Harlequin
Books ; can someone tell me how to do this? It would be so great! I'm not a
computer
person and have no idea how to do an advance Google search and confine the
search to Bookshare.org. Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Okay, now I see where I made my mistake. As I said, I did an advanced
Google search in which I entered the name of a publisher as the search term and
confined
the search to Bookshare.org and I was doubtful of my results. The reason I
was doubtful was because I intended to search a publisher that was providing
publisher quality books and I only got thirty-nine hits. Now I will reveal
which publisher it was. It was Harper & Row. Apparently I was confusing
Harper
& Row with Harper Collins. Now that I see that Harper Collins is on this
list and Harper & Row is not I repeated the search with Harper Collins as my
search
term. This time I got 337 hits. I am not sure how useful that information
is now with the list of publishers that are supplying books right here, but
bear
in mind that you can use the advanced search at Google to search not only
for publishers, but also for anything else on Bookshare that the Bookshare
search
engine is not capable of.
