There are three ways to search for material on the OLL website, and we have consolidated these functions in a "search site" section on the front page under "What's New" (top right). You can search:

1. the essays and other study guides in the Forum
   
2. for an author's name or for a title in the Library by using the "Find Author/Title" function (similar to the old card catalog system)
3. for a reference in a book - this is the full-text search feature (Advanced Search) which allows you to search for a key word or phrase within the texts themselves. It is very powerful and there are ways to filter or limit the number of results by restricting the search by attributes of the author or the title, or you can restrict the search to just an author's works or to just one work by doing your search from the relevant page. See the How to... page, or the Search Tips page, for more details
