Step 2: Using search

One search covers every book you own. Select My Bookshelf > Recipes to start. Below the search box you’ll see how many recipes you can search across, all the indexed recipes from the books, magazines, and blogs on your shelf. The full recipe isn’t included; we show you where to find it in your books.

1. Type what you’re looking for, like chocolate cake.
2. Browse your results. In our example, 339 chocolate cake recipes, all from books on the shelf.
3. To narrow things down, add more words (“banana”), or use the filters on the right. Many chocolate cakes don’t have “chocolate cake” in the title, so the filters Cakes, large plus Chocolate find those too. See Searching your Bookshelf.
