See his message at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...postcount=1051 in the Kobo Future Firmware features request sticky.

Yes, I saw that but that's just one part of it; I can live with all results being listed in the same chapter but the search results are all jumbled about, the first, second, third, etc items on the result pages are not not the first three etc appearances of the word but maybe 15th, 8th, 21st, etc (it changes each time). That makes it useless when I'm searching for something like the first appearance of a character or location or the last appearance prior to the one I'm at. This only happens in ePubs, kepubs show them perfectly but I only sideload ePubs, the only reason I loaded a few kepubs was to test this search problem/bug.
It's quite frustrating to me not to be able to use the search feature, it's one of my favorite things about ebooks. I may end up giving up the light control feature on my HD and roll back to 3.3 if I can figure out how to do it, lol! (I've seen the instructions, just not sure I can do it without screwing things up. )
