Useless Tip of the Day: There is no Ctrl+F in books - #049

  • Artikel

You know you’ve thought about it at some point it time… "where’s the Ctrl+F to search for something in the book you are reading."  Sorry, there’s no Ctrl+F in books.

    In the same vein, there's no rewind on the radio.  I think my TiVo has spoiled me.

    I've thought about books having some sort of index of every single word except 'for','the', 'as', etc. It's probably closest thing to the search function as you can get in books.

    These days scanners can scan pages straight to text.  So if you had some spare time it 'could' be done. I'm still working on the Ctrl + F on my key's cause i've lost them and is proving to be a real pain in the....

    Carlo, Even if there is an index, you cannot search for two or more words together. So it is still far from Ctrl + F.

    There is, it's called Google Book search..  Of course it doesn't apply to all books yet (but they're probably working on it).. For specific books just use the intitle keyword, so to search for "Meet the enemy" in "The Career Programmer" (great book for developers by the way), the search would be: Meet the enemy intitle:The intitle:Career intitle:Programmer

    Иногда что-то заставляет меня нажимать Ctrl+C вместо Ctrl+V, находясь на пустой строке. Не могу понять
