Selecting values from a fixed set at random in JMeter

The problem I'm trying to solve is how to go about randomizing HTTP requests with multiple available values of parameters one would manually select via a drop-down list. I'm doing this in JMeter so AFAIK I cannot just declare an array containing values of parameters that said drop-down list options refer to and then use random indices for values. For the sake of simplifying the problem - let's say I'm writing a test plan where a thread searches for a book title in an e-bookstore and goes to 'view' a found item. I want to start a buch of threads but don't want them all to search for the same book. I do know all titles available but do not know how to make each thread search for a different one. I could try defining a varable per value and use __RandomFromMultipleVar() with all variables as its parameters but that would be quite a chunky piece of code if I wanted to select from more than just a few values. If there's a way of defining multivalue variables, it would realy come in handy.

You can add User defined Variables under Http Request with name and value Example: Name= option_1;option_2; option_3 and different Values for each option. User Defined Values Example

In Http request body add below code in place where you enter value.

"${__V(option_${__Random(1,3,)})}"
