I think I saw a post about doing 'cloud searches' for specific topics on either Amazon or goodreads. How does one do that? I am always hampered in my searches by getting a torrent of unrelated info that I can't sort through.
But I can see that there are places to 'tag' books, so there must be a way to sort through the offerings by what other people have tagged them. Can anyone help this tech-ignoramus?

I really haven't wandered into that realm at Goodreads, but I think there's been some recent discussions about it at the Goodreads feedback group here. If you don't find your topic, go ahead and start a new thread there and ask your question. There you will find the most expert of the Goodreads experts.
I know Amazon has a search products tagged with feature, it always pops up when I pull up my communities page.

[quote=""MLE""]Misfit, where do you find that 'search products tagged with' feature? I can't seem to see it on my Amazon page.[/quote]
There seems to be more than one way to get there, but without signing out of my Amazon page I don't have a link. Click on your profile, and choose see all tags (assuming you've tagged stuff). Look up at the search bar and you now have the search all tags feature. Carry on
