I thought I must be doing something wrong with the PW search when I first got it, I can't believe how bad the search is on Kindles. It's another reason it'll never be the reader I actually use.

One issue with the search, or at least the last time I tried this, is that it only finds the 100 matches and it always starts at the beginning of the book. If there was a way to get the next batch of matches, this would be OK, but there isn't. If you want the 101st match, you are out of luck.
Kobo really needs to change that 100 limit, it's the one thing that cripples their search. Other than that limit, it's much better than the Kindles, but not quite as good as the Sonys (I still wish for a PRS-350 with a front light! ).
