Content Lookup

The content search allows users to search for a term across all downloaded books in their library, making it easier for users with large libraries to find relevant content references quickly.

To access the content lookup, tap on the down arrow in the Library title bar. Tapping on the down arrow will open a drop-down menu where you can select content lookup. A search field will open where you can enter the word or phrase for which you wish to search.

You will see search results for the first book in your library that includes the search term.
