    It actually doesn’t have everything sadly, it works through random generation when browsing however using the search tool basically uses what you typed as a criteria in the creation process, then it randomized everything around it. There isn’t a server big enough to hold every single combination of letters all at once. Still, it is a very neat trick, cool programming, and a good thought experiment. Plus its based off a book of the same name.

      It does “have” everything, it just generates it because the strings are generated by an algorithm anyway so no need to store them when you can just regenerate them whenever required.

        Ok, after reading the about page it says that any given book will be in the same place every time. I haven’t tested that but I’ll just take the website’s word for it.
