Searching for Text
One huge advantage that ebooks have over paper books is the ability to search for
specific text within the book.
To search for text in an ebook or PDF file, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap iBooks. The iBooks screen appears.
2. Tap the image of the book you want to read. Your chosen ebook opens.
3. Tap the Search icon (it looks like a magnifying glass that appears in the
upper-right corner of the screen). A Search field appears along with a virtual
keyboard.
4. Type the word or phrase you want to find, and tap the Search key on the
virtual keyboard. A listing of where that text appears in the book is dis-
played, as shown in Figure 20-9. Scroll down to see more instances of
yoursearchterm.
5. Scroll through this list, and tap the page that you want to view. Your
chosenpage appears with your word or phrase highlighted, as shown
inFigure20-10.
