Maybe for most people, but I've always been unhappy you couldn't grep paper books... I use it all the time, it's much more useful than never-present X-Ray. Alas, it stems and splits so aggressively that you can't search for specific text reliably, let alone multi-word strings. GIVE US REGEXES DAMMIT.
