Re: Why we need a searchable iPhone manual
If you have the PDF file, another option may be to export it as a text file. this isn't always perfect, but it will allow for quick searches and a quick way to find some information.

No, I have the iBooks app and manual installed but had not noted that it was searchable. Thanks for the suggestion.

RE: Why we need a searchable iPhone manual
Also, if you're a Bookshare member, you can grab some pretty good i-device manuals there. This is what I did when I first got my iPhone and used for my main source of reference material until I familiarized myself with iOS and the phone. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Aman Singer Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 4:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Why we need a searchable iPhone manual Hi.

Re: Why we need a searchable iPhone manual
Hi. What, if I may ask, about the iPhone manual in the iBooks store? It's in Epub, and you should be able to search it with iBooks. You don't mention this in your message. Have you tried this as well? Aman On 2/21/13, Don & Cher Bosch wrote: > All- > > > > I miss the .doc or .txt manual versions we used to be able to get.
