Improved search capabilities of book searches
I am requesting that the search feature of the books listed in your library be improved by allowing the body of the books to be word searched, by KEY WORD with the Boolean expression AND entered between words to prevent so many returned documents.
Also, there is no way to alert anyone of many errors that are found in the book section of the Search function. Please add something to report errors.

That would require indexing, likely by OCR. Not a quick or easy process, and the ability of FS to do so will depend on the contract with the copyright holder or compiler of the work.
And OCR indexing is not without its problems.

@Dan Williams_10 I am not connected with FamilySearch.
If your comments are in respect of books in the FamilySearch Digital Library, you could try writing directly to the Digital Library Department, email DigitalLibrary@familysearch.org
My experience in the past is that there seems to be no input or interest from that Department in this Community platform.
