Sue, I'll use Lori's book as an example. This is what I would put in the search box, and, yes, there is a plus sign between the book title and the text from the book. I put the book title in quotes, but not the text I'm looking for.

Hope this helps. Melissa siss52 wrote:
Melissa,I am interested in this too, as there have been times when I could have used it. After you write the title of the book in quotes, how do you handle the snippet? Do you connect the words with a plus sign, or what?Thanks, Sue S.----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Smith" <mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 7:17 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: A page from Pleasures of Love Lori, I'm using a screen reader and am not signed in. This book is available in snippet view, which means you can't actually look at the whole page, but a snippet of it is shown in the search result. The snippet usually shows the text you type, along with some of the surrounding text. So, here's what I do. In the search box type the book title in quote followed by the plus sign, followed by the text right before or right after the word you are looking for. I do not include the word that is messed up, because that throws the search off. I try to use several words of the text, so it is more likely to find the exact spot I'm looking for. Then press enter to perform the search. When the search results come up, hopefully just one result, if I've done my search well, I read the snippet that is shown there in the search result. It shows the text you entered in the search, along with some of the surrounding text. Do not click on the search result, because that page will only have images. With books that are in snippet view, there are certain pages that are restricted. In this case, the search result will come up and in the place where the text would normally appear, there will be a notice saying that that page's content is restricted. If this is the case, you'll need to find another way to get the information, either through a rescan, or having someone look at the print copy, because it won't be viewable by anyone, sighted or not. I hope this made sense and you can find answers without any trouble. Let me know if it didn't, I'll try to explain more. Melissa Lori wrote:Meslissa, Many many thanks. Now how did you do that?

If anyone can take a look and see if they can find the following book and specifically page 155 I have some questions. Thanks to all, Lori The Pleasures of Love THE STORY OF CATHERINE OF BRAGANZA JEAN PLAIDY PUTNAM'S SONS ISBN 0-399-13I31-9 This starts about a paragraph down on page 155 There seemed no end to the blows fate was dealing me. I did not pjiear of this until some days after the news had come to England.

He was right. It was a great shock to me. My mother was dead.It was, of course, some few years since I had seen her, but I had never thought of her dying. She had seemed indestructible... tounortal. Charles himself broke the news to me. He came in looking very sombre, threw his hat aside and, taking any hands in his, led me to a sofa where we sat close together. '" He said: I have sad news for you, Catherine. You are going to find this hard to bear.' I looked at him fearfully. 'It is your mother.' 'She is ill?' He hesitated and I stared at him in horror. 'She has had much to trouble her. She worked too hard. We none of us are here forever, you know.' 'But she...' I know how you cared for her. But she is gone and your home is here now.' I turned to him and he put his arms about me and held me §against him. I felt bereft... alone.
