Using calibre on windows 7 64 bit,version 1.19
I searched for the best ebook reader for windows and came across calibre.
I've been fiddling with calibre for a day now.
I'm looking for some basic things in the ebook viewer of calibre

As Adobe states calibre's viewer is best when viewing ePubs because it is an epub viewer. If you want to view PDFs use a different reader.

This is a problem. As you found, currently calibre's solution is to show/hide the controls as one. But the feature set of calibre's viewer is constantly expanding so it is possible that a pop-up search may be added at some point.

Currently you can clear the search history (Viewer preferences - Miscellaneous options) but there is no way to disable the history. Maybe it will be added.

Already a feature. Click the yellow scroll in the corner to place your viewer in Paged mode. Then go to the viewer's preferences - Text layout in paged mode and change the number of pages to show on the screen to 2 pages.

I don't think this will change. The numbering in the viewer changes as the user changes the font size, margins etc... The page number that shows is an estimate of what page you might be on in an equivalent paper book.
