To be fair, I tried it on my phones kindle app, and the search worked there. Being in IT, I could really use the cloud index for searching for specific info. In any case, I haven't had a chance to get through too much of the book, but it looks like a good solid book to educate and fill in the gaps for the newer SAP user or support person. It might be a little light on the technical aspects - but it wasn't meant to be an ABAP manual or include every T-Code. I'll update this review as I spend more time using the book. Review: Not the best and desertcart will not let me return - Not a user friendly book for someone who has used SAP.
