It's easy to search within a book! Everand makes the text in most content searchable so you can find specific words or phrases easily.
On our website
While reading a title on our website, click on the magnifying glass icon in the upper right-hand corner to select the 'Search' option. Type in what you wish to search and Everand will automatically scan the title for the matching content.
When our system finds a match to your search, we'll list the page number it's located on, highlighting the search query for you. You can see exactly where in the paragraph it is located, and selecting one of the results will take you directly to the full page of the book where the match can be found.
On our app
For readers who use the Everand app, there are two options for searching:
- Option one (Android and iOS): With the reading footer open, select the magnifying glass icon on the bottom right of the page, then type in what you wish to search for in the book.
- Option two (iOS only): Select a word directly on the page by pressing and holding down on it. Then choose 'Search'. Using iOS or iPad OS, you'll see the ‘Search’ option within the dialog box.
With each option, any results will appear along with the page number each was found on. By selecting one of the results, you'll be taken directly to that page of the book.
Why can’t I search within some particular books?
If the search function isn't available, it may be that the title was provided as a series of images, rather than text. Everand does not perform optical character recognition (OCR) on titles provided in this format. This means some titles that are provided as images won't be searchable.
