PDF support is provided by a limited version of Quickoffice. There is (currently) no search capability within PDFs.

The Nook Color handles PDFs very well (landscape mode with pinch to zoom is pretty incredible). I have tons of technical books in PDF and the PDF support is one of the major reasons why I went with the Nook Color. The only major downside with the current PDF support is that the application does not keep state. If you exit out of the PDF viewer in any manner - even something as trivial as hitting the Nook home button - when you reopen the PDF, the application reopens the PDF at the first page. There is no way to bookmark a page, so this gets to be a pain in the ass. Hopefully this is fixed in an update or alternate PDF viewers become available (which would most likely include a search function).
