The ability to search actual book contents on Amazon.com is a fairly new feature. It
became available two or three months ago. From what I have read in the news, many
book publishers are against the idea. I do not blame them. I suspect this feature
will either end entirely or be paired back soon because it does really violate
copyright laws, in my opinion.
