Searching Your NOOK
Your NOOK includes a search tool to help you quickly find what you’re looking for.
To access the search tool, tap the NOOK button, then tap the
Search
icon in the Quick Nav Bar.
To provide you with the most relevant results possible, the Search customizes its searching according to what you
were doing when you started the search.
Searching in Your Library
If you search while you’re in your Library, the Search tool initially limits its search to your Library. The Search tool
searches:
• Author
• Title
• Subject
If it doesn’t find any results, it then automatically searches the Store, because it assumes that if you’re searching the
Library, you’re looking for a book, magazine, or newspaper.
Searching from the Quick Nav Bar
When invoked from the Quick Nav Bar, the Search tool searches:
• Web (including your bookmarks and browser history)
• Apps (the names of installed applications)
• Music (artists, albums, and tracks)
• Shop (books, magazines, and newspapers)
• Library (books, magazines, and newspapers)
You can limit a search to just one of these areas by pulling down the Show menu at the top of the Search tool and
selecting the area you want to search. To return to searching all results, pull down the menu and select
All Results
.
To select the areas that your NOOK should search by default, tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the
Search screen. Your NOOK displays the Settings search for searchable items. Tap on checkboxes to select or de-
select the items you want searched.
NOTE: If the Web browser on your NOOK is disabled, the Search tool will not search the Web, and the
Search tool’s pull-down menu will omit the Web menu choice. For information about disabling and re-
enabling the Web browser, see “Disabling and Re-enabling Your Web Browser”.
