Easier said than done. I tried [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=literature&search_type=books&search%5Bfield%5D=title). The good news is it allows you to search by genre. Not just fiction but also type of fiction, if you want. And by title. But you can not set it to just choose the titles that start with the keyword. And you can't alphabetize the results. Then I tried [my local library](https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=TITLE%3Dliterature&lm=FICT&dt=list&rt=false%7C%7C%7CTITLE%7C%7C%7CTitle&st=TL), and it works! I was able to set the keyword search for titles only and I could set a category. I chose "adult fiction." There are 60 results for "literature." Note that it also looked within series names and sub-titles. It then allowed me to alphabetize them by full title. Drawback? A fairly small database. The search engine company is [SirsiDynix](http://www.sirsidynix.com/). Find a bigger library that uses it and you're in business.
