Es gibt etwas Neues vom Markt der - kommerziellen, englischsprachigen - Bücher-Volltext-Suchdienste zu berichten.Microsoft gab heute, in impliziter Abgrenzung zum KonkurrentenÂ  Google Book Search, eine neue Version von Live Search Books bekannt:Today's release includes books from a wide range of publishers. We have paid particular attention to ensuring that we are only including books in our index that our publishing partners have given us permission to include, so our customers and partners can feel secure in our stance on copyright protection. Here are just a few of our launch partners: Academic Resources Corporation, Amherst Media, Bearport Publishing, Cambridge University Press, Edward Elgar Publishing, Harrison House Publishers, Harvard University Press, Hazelden Publishing &#38; Educational Services, Institute for International Economics, John Wiley &#38; Sons Publishing, Lerner Publishing Group, MBI Publishing Company, McGraw-Hill Companies, Microsoft Corporation, MIT Press, OECD, Osprey Publishing, Oxford University Press, Pearson Education, PREP Publishing, Rodale, Rutgers University Press, Simon &#38; Schuster, Springer, SUNY Press, Taylor &#38; Francis Group, The Perseus Books Group, The World Bank, University of Massachusetts Press, Wheatmark, Wilderness Press, World Health Organization, World Scientific Publishing Company, World Wisdom, Yale University Press. There are many more not named here (...)Weiter vorne im Ankündigungstext wird geschildert, wie die an Windows Live Academic Search angelehnte Suchoberfläche funktioniert, wie mit Werken umgegangen wird, von denen aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen nur eine begrenzte Seitenzahl per Suchanfrage dargestellt wird, und daÃ? man die Scanqualität für eine Stärke des erneuerten Suchdienstes hält:Our design makes it easy to quickly figure out if a book is relevant to your search, then jump to the relevant information within that book. The preview pane includes a cover image, summary of the book and table of contents previews (where available), and a new hit density map that makes it easy to see where your search results fall in a given title. Seeing where clusters of results fall makes it easy to get to the relevant section of the book quickly and easily, making the best possible use of limited page previews.  To that end, we also have included a page preview counter that tells you how many pages you have left to view within the preview page limit set by the publisher. Of course we also make it easy to search within books: our viewer allows you to search for specific keywords, view full pages or zoom in, flip through page by page, and link to the bookâ??s Table of Contents.  If you decide that you want to own the book, we make it easy to buy it with links to the publisherâ??s ecommerce enabled web site and major online book retailers.Another thing that youll notice about Live Search Books is the quality of our scanned images.  We are taking particular pains to obtain the highest possible quality images to ensure that our customers are getting the best viewing experience possible.Bei mir funktioniert die Suchoberfläche nicht, weder mit Mozilla Firefox 2 noch mit dem Internet Explorer 6.Â  Haben andere bereits Erfahrungen sammeln können?
