Amazon Launches Book Search- Battle of the Search Engines

Amazon - A Letter from Jeff Bezos:

"Starting today, you can find books at Amazon.com based on every workd inside them, not just on matches to author or title keywords. Search Inside the Book -- the name of this new feature -- searches the complet inside text of more than 120,000 books -- 33 million pages of them. And since we've integrated Search Inside the Book into our standard search, using it is as easy as entering a search term in our regular search box.

As just one example, by searching on the term 'Resistojet' I've been able to find books that I could not have found otherwise. I encourage you to try Search Inside the Book for yourself to see how powerful this new feature is."

Go ahead, try the Resistojet example. Or try searching for Search Engines and then for Google: "If I told you the formula that Google uses today, you could be sure that this information would be out of date before this book was even published..."
