In the search within book box, type your search term, making sure to put phrases in quotes. Search results are
displayed showing frequency bars next to each chapter. Click on the triangle to the left of the chapter for counts of
results per page and contextual snippets of text. Click on the snippet to display the page in the book with the
highlighted search terms.
