search

When looking for a specific book or subject, use the Search function at the top of every page. Type in the title, keyword, author, etc. and select the product type desired. After choosing a product type a list of categories is available to choose from. Click the blue go button and a page of results will magically appear. This list can be sorted by relevance, publication date, author, customer reviews, and best sellers. From this page you can also expand your search by clicking the links below the blue bar to add more search filters as you need them. Filter searches by:

  • Title and/or Author – if you know the exact title or author name you know what to do…
  • Reviews - many Lulu books have ratings and reviews added by our customers; this filter will allow you to select items that have specific levels, or even to search for content with no review so far…
  • Language (and/or country of publication) – by default we’ll give you books in all languages, from all countries, but this filter lets you pick a specific language and country of origin (we’ll remember these settings for the next year so language will stay the same for your future searches)
  • by Date – Want to find something that’s new or newly revised? Use the date filter to find projects that have been published in a variety of periods. Revision date means an existing project that has been changed after initial publication.
  • More – You can also filter your results by Licensing to find works you can copy, modify, adapt, or use for commercial purposes

Tip - For better search results you can use these symbols:

Add a (+) to the beginning of words to include the words in the search.
Example: If you wanted content with bunnies and/or rabbits you would type bunny +rabbit.

Add (") around phrases for exact matches.
Example: If you wanted to find content with little bunny rabbit in it, you would type "little bunny rabbit".

Add (-) to exclude words.
Example: If you wanted to find content on bunnies, but not bunny rabbits you would type bunny -rabbit.
