Title
When you enter a word or term and click Title, you get a list of items with that word anywhere in the title.
Author
If you know the author of a book, and want to find others written by the same one, enter all or part of the name and click Author.
Subject
If you want to find items about a certain subject, topic, person, or place, enter all or part of it and click Subject. Make sure to use the plural form, if your search term has one, instead of the singular. Enter flies instead of fly or lions instead of lion.
Keyword
When you enter a word or term and click Keyword, Destiny returns a list of items with that word almost anywhere in the record.
Series
If you enjoyed a book that belongs to a series, like Goosebumps or The Baby-Sitters Club, and want to find books in the same series, enter all or part of the series name, and click Series.
Wildcards
If you don't know the complete word, or aren't sure how to spell it, add an asterisk (*) to the end of what you do know.
Examples:
You can use croc* to find "crocodiles".
If you enter rom*, Destiny finds "rome" and "roman".
You could use a question mark (?) to replace a single letter. You can use more than one question mark in a word, but it can't be the first or last letter.
Example:
If you're not sure whether it's "allegators", "allagators", or "alligators", search for "all?gators".
