SEARCHING FOR DEFINITIONS
You can limit a search to the dictionary. Kindle searches your default dictionary for 
definitions of the word you have entered.
PERFORMING A SEARCH
To perform a search, follow these steps:
1.   Type in your search term; the Search line will automatically appear. You can use 
whole words, and no distinction is made between lower and upper case. 
2.   To find the word or phrase in the content you are currently reading, move the 
5-way to the right to highlight “find.” Or, to choose the type of search, continue 
moving the 5-way right. You can search all your items, the Kindle Store, Google, 
Wikipedia, or the dictionary.  
 3.   Press the 5-way to submit your search. 
If you select “Search” from the Home page menu, the screen will display a full  
Search page.
