[TUT] How to effectively Search for an Ebook/audiobook

[kraken2012]

1. Make sure you have the correct infos and spelling: author, book title, book publication date
- you can check it at goodreads, amazon, or just google it


2. Search according to the author's name/publication date/unique keyword or keywords from the title.


EXAMPLE #1: according to the author's name

The Brothers' War (Magic: The Gathering: Artifacts Cycle #1) by Jeff Grubb

search box: "Jeff Grubb" [including quotation marks]

3. Choose only thread result/s under the right category. In this example, you need to choose only FICTION threads. Make sure the thread title is relevant and promising.

4. In each thread you've chosen, search again: "Jeff Grubb"

Thread 1: My Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection

5. Click the link of the post result. If there are a lot of post results, just choose the most promising ones.

then just scroll down a little . . .

*if you're already satisfied with that then no need to continue to THREAD 2.



EXAMPLE #2: according to the author's name and publication date

search box: "Nora Roberts" [including quotation marks]

CATEGORIES: FICTION with last post date: April 12, 2016 - present date (you just need to look at their last post visually)

SPECIALIZED SEARCHING​

Kung sure ka sa genre ng book mo, example FICTION, punta ka sa FICTION FORUM

- Search Forum
- fill in keyword/s, dapat naka-enclose ng quotation marks " " ..preferably 2 to 3 words
- kung maraming books ang author mo, mas mabuti yung title na lang ilagay mo para mas kunti ang search results
- kung common word/s naman ang title, author na lang ilagay mo
- tick Show Posts

- click post title that looks promising, kung hindi ka sure, iclick mo na lang lahat ng post title results baka nakatago yung iba sa lower part ng post



NOTE: Some books are prone to misplacement gaya ng POEMS, so kung hindi ka sure sa genre, search mo na rin sa NON-FICTION FORUM or just do the generalized searching.
