    "medal" - and then under the search bar, I had a choice of "all books"
    or "full view books" (meaning full text books). I chose "full view
    books" and a wonderful array of titles popped up, all 100% searchable.
    Not only British books are included: I found the catalog of the ANS
    international medal exhibition of 1910, for example."
