Amazon's (ego-)search-inside-the-book feature

Wow.

Amazon now lets you search the entire text of 120,000 books (that's 33 million pages). This is simply astounding.

Of course, being an egomaniac, I searched for myself, and sure enough, got valid results (betcha didn't know I contributed an entry to that book!).

Something even I didn't know, "laze.net" appeared in a screenshot that appeared in the RoboHELP 2000 Bible.

That's an impressive search function.

Hmmm, "a lie agreed upon." That would be telling if you were lying.

Yeah, I guess you could say it's more targeted ego-surfing.
