Dec 27, 2015 at 21:26 comment added Hot Licks @BillJ - The same as in the sentence "Did you have any success finding..."
Dec 27, 2015 at 21:24 comment added BillJ @Hot Licks Yes, yes, but that's not what he was asking. He wants to know the syntactic function of the non-finite clause "finding that ​book you ​wanted"
Dec 27, 2015 at 21:19 comment added Hot Licks In this sense "joy" means "success".
