I haven't seen a discussion of the issues relating to implementing search in iPDF or in the mobipocket reader.

I'm assuming that the reason that there is no search in these applications is that it would run too slow and would use up the battery too quickly to make it a usable feature.

Have I got it right or is there some other issue(s)?

Thanks

The mobipocket reader isn't open-source, but the iPDF reader is. FBReader has search within books, and it works just fine, so I would think this feature could be added to iPDF -- at least for "text" PDFs. The only way to make "image" pdfs searchable is to OCR them, as far as I know.

Thanks. I'll look at search in iPDF. I have many text PDFs that I would like to search for research and reference. A friend of mine is using an iLiad for viewing briefs and depositions and really needs search there.

Is anyone doing a version for 2.11 that removes the processor scaling or is adding other functionality? I'd rather start with the most up-to-date version possible.
