Also, how about a "search status" icon, even if it's just an indicator that pops up in the corner while the search is active.
I also wouldn't mind a different control scheme...it's awkward to use both the directional pad and the numbers at the same time. Plus, it's really easy to accidentally hit the enter button and have to wait through a long search you didn't want to do (with no indication that it's searching other than it won't let you input). There should be an options menu that lets us switch to a scheme where the page turn buttons move the cursor on the keyboard and the d-pad is used to look up the next definition. With that scheme you can type one-handed with all of the buttons on the right side or have your left hand on the alternate bottom-left page turn button to move the cursor (seems much more handy than using the d-pad since you're going to be using the cursor movement a lot more than the "next word" feature).
