In order to be able to search the index (i.e. type in the word to look up) you need one further tweak. Add a Guide item - Title : Look Up Word, Type : Find, and put in Onclick : "index_search('', 'Alphabetical lookup', '', 'none')".#

This gives the ability in Mobipocket reader to click on "Contents, Look Up Word" for the search entry box. It also works on my BeBook.

I got rid of the included TOC as it's really redundant with a search (and is messy to use on my BeBook anyway.

BTW A good Free editor that will handle the 16Mb HTML file is PFE (Programmers File Editor)
