Re: How does the gutenberg search actually work?

First you have to search for a "real" search -- which PG used to use but
abandoned for some reason.  From the home page do a "search website" on the
term "Advanced Search" which will give you a hit that includes an "Advanced
Search Page."  Click on the link to that page, and then on the "Advanced
Search Page" link within that page.  Which takes you to the [now deprecated]
"Advanced Search" page.

 

From their you can pretty much do the kind of searching that one would
actually expect of an online catalog. For example I can enter your E-text
number and go right there, or I can enter your exact title and go right
there. Don't know how long "deprecated" means until PG kills this good idea
too.


>How does one search for an exact title in the PG archive? I went to look
for a book I worked on ("Brother Against Brother", 40541) and had to dig
through 3 pages of fairy books to find it despite specifying the exact
title. Quotes don't seem to work. Searching for the second title word
"against" doesn't return any results at all...
