The Sony has no way to search book content. The Kindle does, but you nixed that. I think the CyBook has search. The Jetbook also has a find feature, but it is liminted in it's supported formats. But, they are not going to be nice like on your PC due to the slow screen and limited screen real estate.
Have you considered something like an EEE Pc or MSI Wind or maybe something like the Nokia 800/810? They are a bit more expensive than an eBook reader device but searching would be nicer and faster. Also, many "eBooks" of Technical manuals/docs are still only done in PDF.... and viewing PDF on 6inch eInk readers is very rough... I'm sure you've read the many threads on this issue... if not... just do a search on PDF in thread titles.
