Why should you *not* try to search for something before saying it isn't possible?
The interface says: "Search All" and it does exactly that. It searches all data we have.
Marcello, you can do better. Just agree that the search interface is rather limited. I've no idea what I must enter, if I'm interessed in works by Goethe published before 1833 (*goethe -1833* does not seem to do the trick). Or works by Goethe in German? *goethe german*? No, you must select the language first (which is the last option...). You will probably argue that nearly all our books are in English, and thus it might make sense to offer "language" as second or third class criterium. But then, it is somehow sticky, but the search interface does not say so... As long as there are just 50.000 or 100.000 books (and you are not interested in "goethe faust" or "shakespeare hamlet") the interface is probably good enough. There is no need to blame Marcello ;-) The searches are pretty fast and you can simply glance into all the books that are presented as search results. -- Karl Eichwalder
