NOOK Tablet: Out of the Box

Searching Your NOOK

Here’s one of the many great things about your NOOK: even though it’s chockfull of books, magazines, newspaper, apps, and more, it’s easy to find what you want. That’s because the NOOK has a great built-in search tool…in fact, it has not just one, but two search tools, one from inside the Library, and one for the NOOK overall launched from the Quick Nav Bar.

Searching from the Quick Nav Bar

Tap the Search button on the Quick Nav Bar, and start typing in your search term or terms. The NOOK immediately displays results, and as you type in new letters, it narrows down the search, as shown in Figure 3-20.

Figure 3-20. Searching from the Quick Nav Bar

The keyboard at the bottom of the screen hides some of the search results, so when you want to see all results, tap the icon on the keyboard that makes it go away. You’ll now see all the results of your search, by category, such as Library or Apps. Tap any item to go to it—a book, a newspaper or magazine, an app, results from the Web, and so on.

Here’s are the categories you’ll search when you do a search from the Quick Nav Bar:

Library

This list your books, magazines, and newspapers that match the search.

Apps

This lists the apps whose name or first letter combination in the name matches your search.

Music

This lists artists, albums, and tracks that match your search.

Shop

This lists books, magazines and newspapers ...
