Kindle Search Experiment
Inspired by a question on the Amazon forums, I tried a little experiment to figure out how to search within a book as opposed to every book and periodical in the Kindle.

Quote:
I've been experimenting. If your search contains some of the title of the book plus your phrase, it can sometimes narrow your results.

The title of the book (or part of the title) should come first since it's on every page, then the word or phrase you're looking for. It's not perfect but it might help.

It's fast enough at doing it that way that I don't miss the search only in the present book function. That's way down on my wish list.
