One of our most commonly requested features has been the option to search for books within your own bookshelf. We have listened to your requests, and implemented this exciting new feature! Now the search in a shelf feature makes it easy for users to find books they have added to their bookshelf again. For some users this may not seem all that exciting, but it is extremely useful for our power users who have more than 50 books in their shelf. Of course, this also makes managing your bookshelf a lot easier, since you can find and edit specific book listings quickly and easily.

Another useful example of how you can use this feature is if you have 101 books on your shelf, and want to find all the books by Neil Gaiman you have on it. With search in a shelf, now you can easily find out which ones you have listed!

You can also search for books on your friends’ bookshelves or even the bookshelves of users you don’t know. This is particularly useful if you’re trying to find out whether the friend has read a particular book or not so you can recommend it to them, or even buy it for them as a gift.

The search within a shelf feature is shown on the “My Reads” page where you can see all the books on your bookshelf.
