Search a Book in Three Steps

Open the complete book, describe the passage you need, and inspect the result in its original context.

Step 1

Open a Supported eBook

Add a compatible eBook with readable text so the search can work with its chapters and passages.

Step 2

Describe What You Are Looking For

Enter an exact phrase when you know it, or search with a character, topic, event, question, or remembered detail.

Step 3

Open the Match and Read Around It

Review the surrounding paragraphs to confirm the speaker, meaning, sequence, and relevance before using the passage.

A Search Result Is a Way Back Into the Book

Keep the Author’s Exact Wording Available

Use AI to locate a likely passage, then rely on the source text for quotations, details, and interpretation.

Refine Broad Results With Follow-Up Searches

Add a chapter, character, location, or narrower concept when the first search returns several possible matches.

Move Between Search, Reading, and Listening

Find the passage, read the surrounding text, and continue with narration without treating the result as a replacement for the book.

AI book search helps locate relevant passages inside supported eBooks using a phrase, question, concept, character, event, or remembered detail.

Can I search a book without knowing the exact words?
