Content Searchability

[mnewsome]

I'd like to be able to enter a list of keywords (I often enter the table of contents) to be able to search so that I can find all available books that may have content regarding the particular topic or word I need to search on. Is this possible with Bookpedia?

The regular Amazon search is a keyword search but in order to narrow the results and not broaden them the keywords get put together with "and". I think the power search available on Amazon would fit your needs. To do a power search prefix the search field with "&Power=". Then you can use the following words: author, subject, binding, pubdate, keywords, language, isbn, publisher, condition and title. In your case it seems you would want a really broad search something like, '&Power=keywords: "wild west" or cowboy or horse'.

Here are some other examples:

• author: ambrose
  author: ambrose and binding: (abridged or large print) and pubdate: after 11-1996
  subject: history and (spain or mexico) and not military and language: spanish
  (subject: marketing and author: kotler) or (publisher: harper and subject: "high technology")
  keywords: "high tech*" and not fiction and pubdate: during 1999
  isbn: 0446394319 or 0306806819 or 1567993850

All this searches are limited to the information and description for a book, they do not go through the books content as search inside the book does on Amazon, this type of search is not available to us.

Is there a way to enter custom keywords ourselves for the search capability?

You can enter any keywords you want under keywords, or just use the regular search that is keywords based (without adding the &Power= prefix).
