ctober 23, 2003 - 14:09 EDT* Amazon.com on Thursday announced the launch of "Search Inside the Book," a new feature that helps customers find books by searching the full text inside them -- not just matches to author or title keywords. "In collaboration with publishers, Amazon.com is enabling customers to find books at Amazon.com based on every word inside more than 120,000 books -- more than 33 million pages of searchable text," notes the company. "Customers can also preview the inside text of these books. Search Inside the Book is integrated into Amazon.com's standard search and includes books from all genres."
