The book search engine performs keyword searches for books that have been scanned as part of Microsoft's book scanning project which is the same way Windows Live Search searches the Internet. Live Search Books' include a "Search inside a book" feature. It allows users to search the full texts of scanned books 
but for the beta release of Live Search Books it only include noncopyright books scanned from the collections of the British Library, the University of California and the University of Toronto. Microsoft plans to add books currently being scanned by robotic machines from the New York Public Library, Cornell University, American Museum of Veterinary Medicine and also add copyright works that publishers have given permission to include in the scanning project. All of the books in the Live Search Books database will offer full text views (PDF files), searched or printed.
