Indexing and providing interesting ways to search the whole book (and by chapter etc) using booleans with a list feature where you are presented with a list of hits that match the search etc.
A dynamically sortable index with hyperlinks would also be phenomenal
wwat, I'm curious: What would you actually get from an index, i.e. a fixed list of words? I know they are useful in printed books, but printed books don't have search functions. And indices are often frustrating, when they don't show the terms you are looking for.

Search functions are in many ways superior to "old school" indices, because they are more flexible, as you said, you can search for parts or combinations of words.

I would really appreciate being able to search the entire book, though. Didn't you say, Kris, that this is on the roadmap for one of the next updates?
