On the right side you will see a box that says SEARCH, click SEARCH IN THIS BOOK (red box around it).

Because your topics can be very specific, sometimes you have to think bigger.

If you used Lysol in your projects, you may have to search for disinfectants.

If you found bacteria on shopping carts or computer keyboards, then you may have to use "surface" instead of shopping carts or keyboards.
