No. You can search for title or author names in the library. Or you can search within a book while reading it.

(2) Is there a good and functional(meaning you're completely satisfied with it and works as you'd expect) go-back function? In kindles there's a back button which always brings you back to the last page you were on, not just in books but also between searches and other menus. So say, if you're reading and find the name of a character you don't remember too well, you search for it in the book, then follow the links in the results which will jump throughout the whole book; and yet you never worry about losing your place or having to set a bookmark first: going back function never fails and works as expected.

I haven't use the search much, so I had to test it. The answer is yes.
I started a search by highlighting a word and pressing the search icon in the bar at the bottom. This brought up a a list of matches. Each match was two lines of text to show the context. Press a match to display the page with the search term highlighted. At the bottom of the screen is the search bar with: "Results" to return to the results list, left and right arrows with "x of y" to navigate between the matches, a return arrow to go back to where you were when you started the search and an X to close the bar and stay at the current page.
The search doesn't have to be started by highlighting a word. You can also enter a word.
This worked better than I remembered. Which makes me wonder if it changed with one of the firmware versions.
