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 in the current item.
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. For PDFs, Kindle searches for the term in the metadata only (author's name
and file name). 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.
Searching for Definitions
You can limit a search to the dictionary. Kindle searches your default dictionary for definitions of the word you have entered.
