Does anyone know of a good way of searching textbooks? Sort of a search engine where I can type in "astrodynamics" and a list like this would be returned.

The Open Syllabus Explorer? https://opensyllabus.org/

The search results for "astrodynamics" [1] include several of ht ebooks listed above; clicking on the entry for Bate shows the co-assigned books, which inlcudes all of them.

Many universities/professors publicly post syllabi, so if you're willing to dig through course catalogs you can see what books universities are using for related classes.
I use Amazon search for that. I’ve found some great books that way
