+As we mentioned in this morning's reboot, Microsoft has [added a book search component][1] to its Live Search offering. The new service is currently a public beta available on the Live search website, but it will eventually be incorporated into the general search engine.
+Live Search Books will offer full text searches of scanned books, but for the time being the collection is limited to public domain works from the British Library, the University of California and the University of Toronto.
+Microsoft says they will be adding copyrighted books in the future, but only those submitted by publishers or authors. This differs from Google who has scanned everything in the participating libraries' collections, but only offers full text searches of public domain books.
+Thus far several publishers and authors have sued Google, as has the US Authors Guild, Microsoft apparently wishes to avoid the lawsuits.
+So far the searching is very limited with no advanced options or search operators available but hopefully that will change as the beta progress. If you find something you'd like to save or print Live Search Books offer PDF files for download including a link to download the entire book.
+So far the site does not appear to support the Safari Browser but Firefox and IE work just fine.
+Microsoft also announced the addition of medical content to the Windows Live Academic Search. Academic Search is a full texts search of journals for institutions that subscribe to them. Today's additions reported quadruple the amount of medical information in Academic Search.
