# New Feature: SIMsearch – Searchable SIMbook Content

SIMsearch allows users to search the full content of all licensed SIMbooks in their library. SIMsearch has been on a temporary hiatus since the full release of SIMnet for Office 2013 release on July 21, 2013. To search a SIMbook:

1. Click the **LIBRARY** link in the top navigation bar and select a book from the bookshelf.
2. Click the **Search** tab.
3. Enter your search term. For example, search for **PMT** in the Office level book.
4. Click **Go**.
5. The search results will appear below. Results are ordered based on the number of matching terms found per page. The results include the 5 words before and after the search term as they appear on the SIMbook page.
6. Click the page title to launch the SIMbook chapter and view the selected page. All Show Me, Guide Me and Let Me Try activity is tracked in the Library of the selected chapter.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.simnetonline.com/blog/2014-posts/new-feature-simsearch-searchable-simbook-content.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
