Thanks for the explanation!

To add a bit more: Full-text search in the bookreader is now backed by a real search engine (we use solr). Previously, we were using a regex to search through a xml file, which had a lot of problems.

With the new search, you can now search for a phrase (in quotes). Phrase searching works across page boundaries. Hyphenated words now show up in search results.

Also, you can now do full-text search across 2+ million books at once! Give it a shot: http://openlibrary.org/search/inside

full text search inside borrowed books almost never works, especially if the book page has at least a few hundred pages. it just loads infinitely. would be very useful if it worked properly on borrowed books.
