Here's a good type of Google search to use for the above type of query--the discussion of which began with EmilyK, I think. I'm going to plug in terms for the question raised above. But first I'll give you the format to use.

It searches an entire website, including pages that are not "up--"webpages that people ordinarily cannot see. Most businesses with websites seem not to be aware that people can do this; the webmasters that do know, and care, will lock a person out by requiring that he/she use a password. But, surprisingly, websites which do that are relatively few, in my experience (I've got some theories as to why, but I'll spare you those).

"search term(s)" site:www.websitename.com
[of course, if the domain name of the website uses .org, .info, or whatever, instead of ".com," you would use it instead of ".com"(Note: a link will be created automatically, as reflected in the format above)].

Here is a search of Amazon for the information that was discussed above, beginning with EmilyK, I think:

"boxing day" site:amazon.com
[I got 7,650 hits doing that exact search (a little much to check individually. You'll want to filter/sort the returns--use the menu immediately above the information about the number of hits). Another way to limit the hits is to add some words to the search, for example, "boxing day audiobook sale" or "boxing day audiobook promotion 2018"].

ADDENDUM: Google has several specialized types of searches. I have found the one above to be extremely useful. I found it on their searches information webpage (I'll try to look for the URL for that webpage, to pass it along to you, soon after I get through with this post).
