Very nice.

Wish I'd been following this thread earlier, because now I feel bad for speaking up after the release instead of when it was still in beta.

Have you considered making a separate "Search ePub" plugin? I can see a lot of casual users wanting to search inside books, and Quality Check is not necessarily an intuitive place for it. (I don't understand what half of Quality Check does and I write epubs. )

The detail/log view after searching; if that could show some context on either side of the found text, it would be helpful. Perhaps try and report finds by chapter instead of file?

Include a 'text only' search that ignores HTML perhaps? So that the search 'We can only hope' will still find 'We can <i>only</i> hope'?
