A Note About the Search Bar

The Search Bar is designed to help you locate McLuhan quotes based on a single word, such as “consciousness” or short phrases, such as “global village.” In its present form, it cannot process whole sentences or longer passages.

If the word or phrase you have chosen is the title of a chapter, you will be offered the option of seeing all quotes in the database that include that term, or all the quotes in that chapter.
