Using the Search Facilities
There are two different ways of searching our site.
- Use the red Search box at the top of every page. This will search on the
Title, Author/Artist and Product Description, and will usually find what you
need. You can also type in an ISBN or UPC code.
Products are ranked according to their popularity and availability.
You will notice that when you move your mouse over the search box, a grey box
pops up below it. This allows you to search for a specific product code (as found
in our catalogues) or for a song title. It also allows you to filter your results
down to a single category, such as Books or Music, or to show only newly-released
items.
- Use our Advanced Search page. To get to this page, click on "Advanced Search Options"
at the bottom of the grey popup box described above, or click here
Tips on how to use this page are on the page itself, but basically it provides
you with tools to narrow down your search and find what you're looking for.
Your Shopping Trolley
Once you have found an item that you are interested in, you can
choose to review more details or place it in your shopping trolley. Your
shopping trolley is where you place items before preceding to the checkout. To
review the contents of your trolley, select the 'Shopping Trolley' option from
the menu at the top of each page.
You can change the quantity of an item contained in your trolley,
or delete it altogether, at any time. To order the items in your trolley select

search options.
