    Book Search

    How come I typed "Reputation" in othello (the word search thing) and only came up with one instance. THe word was actually written about ten times in that scene alone
    "Good bye, master, my dear! Forgive your Sam. He'll come back to this spot when the job's done - if he manages it." ...He fancied there was a glimmer on the ground as he peered out at that high stony place where all his life had fallen into ruin. -TTT

    Due to technical limitations a search can only find the first instance of a word in a page, even if the page has the word multiple times the page will only be listed in the search results once. Actually that may be a usability issue rather than a technical issue - in anycase its the same thing that search engines like Google do.

    A separate script will then pull you to the word if you click on the link. If you want to find other occurences of the word you can use your browser's find in page feature. (ctrl-f)

    But I only got one instance of "Reputation" and it was in other scenes of the play
    "Good bye, master, my dear! Forgive your Sam. He'll come back to this spot when the job's done - if he manages it." ...He fancied there was a glimmer on the ground as he peered out at that high stony place where all his life had fallen into ruin. -TTT

    OOPS

    Sorry- I was thinking of a good name - reputation doesn't appear again. Thanks for telling me about that ctr+f thing - it really helps
