CHAPTER(4(
Searching(on(Kindle(
Kindle allows you to take advantage of powerful search capabilities. You can search locally on
Kindle or remotely at the Kindle Store, Wikipedia, or the Web.
4.1(Introduction(to(Search(
This section describes the types of searches that you can perform using Kindle and how to use
search.
Types of Searches Kindle supports several types of search as summarized below.
Searching$What$You$Are$Currently$Reading$
You can limit a search to only what you are currently reading. You enter your search term or
phrase and Kindle searches in the body of the text.
Searching$All$Your$Content$
You can alternatively search all the reading material that you have stored on Kindle, including
books, newspapers, magazines, and other items. You enter your search term or phrase and Kindle
searches in the body of the text, in the metadata (for example, the title or author), and in your
"My Clippings" file. Additionally, Kindle also keeps and searches the metadata for the content
you have stored on Amazon.
Searching$Remotely$
Kindle can perform remote searches in several different locations using Whispernet. Each of
these remote location searches are described in the final section of this chapter. See Searching
the Kindle Store, Searching the Web, or Searching Wikipedia.
Searching$for$Definitions$
You can limit a search to the dictionary. Kindle searches your default dictionary for definitions
of the word you have entered.
