What the Bookshelf Search Does

Scroll’s Bookshelf includes a search tool that helps you find content by keyword. You can search across all your materials using titles, authors, ISBNs, and more — whatever metadata has been included.

How to Use the Search Feature

1. Locate the Search Box
   At the top of your Bookshelf, there is a search field. Type in the name of a book or keyword you want to find.
    

2. Recent Searches Displayed
   Below the search field you’ll see your most recent search terms. Select one to quickly repeat it.

   
   
    

3. Specify the Search Type
   You can narrow down your search by choosing where Scroll should look:
    
   • Title — search by content title
   • Author — search by author name
   • ISBN Code — search by ISBN (if available)
      

4. Cancel or Clear a Search
   If you change your mind, use the Cancel button (or “clear”) to reset the search field and clear results.

    

   

    

5. View Search Results
   After performing a search, Scroll will show you all matching items. Each result includes:
    
   • The cover image (thumbnail) of the content
   • Which category the content belongs to
   • How many instances the search term appears (if applicable)
      

6. Filter by Category
   Optionally, you can filter results to a particular category to narrow things further.

   
   
    

Tips & Best Practices

• If no results show up, try broadening your search (e.g. fewer words, no punctuation).
• Double-check spelling of authors or titles—metadata needs to match.
• Use the category filter when you know the subject area or topic—it helps reduce “noise” in the results.
• Clear your search field between searches to avoid leftover filters or search types carrying over.
