Web Book Pager

This project involves breaking an online book into small page-like files, each stored individually. Each file contains a special keyword, so that web searches can be used while limiting a search to the pages of that book. Any additional keywords typed in by the user will then be used to retrieve only qualifying pages of that book.

TRY IT! Use a Web search engine to browse the pages of Eliot's famous novel "Middlemarch" now:

INSTRUCTIONS: Click on one of the following links to access pages containing the term "poet." Then, modify the query as desired to find other pages (be sure to retain the "xqrjbg" term in the query in order to limit searches to just the book).

Access via Google search engine (best as of 1/10/05): query “xqrjbg”

Access via Fast Search and Transfer search engine (best as of 1/14/04): query “xqrjbg poet”

Access via Hotbot search engine (best as of 1/12/04, worst as of 1/14/04!): query “xqrjbg”
