To search the text of a specific eBook, there are two options:

1. From the eBook details page
2. From within the online eBook reader

First, locate an eBook via a normal search or by following a direct link. The URL of an eBook details page looks like this, although the number and title text after “/book/” will be different:

https://www.123library.org/book/281469/first-responder-care-essentials

On this page, there is a section with the title “Search Inside”, just above the Additional Information section. Enter search terms into the books and click the button to view results.

You can click on any result to open the eBook at the corresponding page. Please note that this will only work if your institution has a subscription to this eBook.

Clicking on a result will open the online reader in a new window, so that your search results are preserved in the first window.

Once you have an eBook open in the online eBook reader, you can search the book by using the search box at the top-left. This will show all matching results with next and previous navigation buttons.

This method is available when viewing an eBook in Preview Mode (if you do not have a subscription), but while you can search the complete text, only certain pages can actually be viewed in Preview Mode.
