Search engines help the customers to navigate these pages. Usually these search engines look for names of authors and words in titles, but nothing more. The best search facilities so far are Studentlitteratur's. Among else, they cover the texts in blurbs and tables of contents, which are published for all of Studentlitteratur's books on the site. Such searches can be conducted for all titles, or restricted to certain subject categories.
Smaller publishers have their own sites.
Dozens of others could be mentioned. Somewhat surprisingly, these smaller publishing houses generally seem reluctant to sell books directly to the customer via the Internet. At present, the large Swedish publishing houses use the Internet mainly for marketing, not for selling books. Visits to their sites yield loads of information about books, but very seldom give even a slight chance of ordering them. In reality, the websites of the large publishing houses are nothing more than a new way of distributing an Internet version of the firms' catalogues.
