Google still behind Book Search
Google had affirmed its commitment to Book Search in the wake of Microsoft's closure of its own effort, reports eWeek.com. A Google spokesperson told the magazine: "Our aim is to bring more human knowledge onto the web to help our users search and discover all the world's books, especially books that are difficult to find any other way".
"With more than 28 library partners and 10,000 publisher partners worldwide, in the not-too-distant future, extraordinary collections will be available to all via a comprehensive index, every word of which is searchable by anyone on Earth, in any language," the spokesperson said.
