I use the search (or the index feature) in a couple different Bibles on the Kindle, but rarely on anything else.

I use the search facility quite a lot on my Kindle in fiction books. Mainly to find the last mention of a character who hasn't appeared for a while in a long book, so I can remind myself where they previously appeared. Particularly if it's a book I've put to one side for a while and come back to reading again.
However, the really essential use for search is in non-fiction books, and that's very important indeed. Essential, in fact. I read a lot of non-fiction for my Egyptology degree.
