BookPadi is a technical library for openly licensed and freely distributable books.

It lets users search through the content of the books and find the sections that are most relevant to what they are looking for.

For example, a search for:

“How does TCP congestion control work?”

could return:

• Computer Networks: A Systems Approach
  Chapter 3: Transport Layer
  Section 3.4: Congestion Control
• Beej’s Guide to Network Programming
  TCP/IP
  Flow and Congestion

I’m still working on improving how accurate and relevant the search results are.
