You can search the Open Library universal catalog and read public domain books using the online web browser viewer without creating a user account.
So for the last two years, Open Library has patiently waited to take full advantage of full-text search for its users. Thanks for all the fish! … Wait, what book was that from again? […]blog.openlibrary.orgOne feature which Open Library has been missing is a way to limit Internet Archive’s full-text search to only include results from books on Open Library.
