Scrollable search results?

Tx65 · 02-23-2014, 09:22 AM

Hi everybody, I recently installed the jailbreak and JBPatch on my Paperwhite 1 because hyphenation was the #1 point on my wish list, and I'm very pleased with the results.

Another pet peeve I have with the PW is that I'm unable to scroll through search results, which means: If I want to know where a word (the name of a character or place, for instance) was mentioned last in the book, and it shows 600 search results, I have to swipe 200x to reach the end of the list.

Is there perhaps a modification which makes the handling of search results more comfortable?

My first idea was a scroll bar (1). Another possibility would be a direct input for the desired page number (2) as already is available for the books list on your home screen.

Does somebody know if something like this exists which makes navigation in a large number of search results more manageable?
Or is there perhaps an alternative ebook viewer with a better search funtion?
I've had a look into KOReader, but it seems it doesn't have a search option yet.
