Not possible when the word you want to search is not displayed on the screen.

If you need more, then you just press option button, tap on search, and type in anything you want on a virtual keyboard.

I prefer to skip all that and just type the word.
Plus I do not like virtual keyboards. It may be partially that I have big hands, but I don't like them on large tablets or touchscreens, either.
The Kindle keyboard is far from word-processor grade, but tactile feedback seems to keep me from needing to correct or re-tap nearly as much as even on, say, an iPad or the email entry screen of a Redbox machine.
Anyway, I didn't say I didn't know how to search on my Sony. I didn't say YOU should like the hard keyboard better.
I said
I like the hard keyboard (and much about the Kindle) better.
And it's not because I just like that what I have...I have both and have tried many.
And I am fully capable of making intelligent, informed decisions for myself. And I know I'm not alone in this, so I share my reasons and recommend others decide for themselves.
I'd also warn that people be careful in how they take buying advice from folks (and, btw, I don't think I talking about Astra here, as far as I can recall) who say stuff like "Swiping is obviously superior and people who say they like buttons have never tried a good touch screen."
Interesting to see the current poll results, BTW.
