Google Book Search: Formal Justice investigation—but also happy news: Better in-book search capabilities
The bad news for Google Book Search: The Department of Justice has formalized the investigation of the GBS Settlement affecting orphan works and some others.
The good news: “New ways to search within a book.” “Previously, it was difficult to get a feel for where results were located in a book. You could count the page numbers and make a guess, but that’s hardly efficient. Now there is a strong visual display of result locations, and often clusters will form around particular chapters or passages. This will help you navigate more easily between pages which contain your search term.”
Usual reminder/disclosure: I’m a very small Google shareholder for retirement investment purposes, although you wouldn’t know that from some of the posts I’ve written about Google.
