I suppose I was assuming that most people use Google and so would be familiar with it. I am not absolutely sure that every Google command works identically as does the new Bookshare search commands, but it is at least pretty close. I think it is close enough that studying the Google help pages would give you a pretty good idea of how to use the Bookshare search. I would recommend that and also I would recommend playing around with the Bookshare advanced search to see what various tweaks like quotation marks and pluses and minuses will do in the different search fields. What it comes down to is that the new search is a lot more flexible and versatile. You can find things that you would never have found with the old search.

Use the various commands that you would use at Google to refineyour search and if you still can't find what you want it probably is not there. _ _ _"I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither white,black, brown nor red.

Anything that remotely has what you are looking for comes up. It didn't used to be that way. what happened?
