Both things have their place. I really do wish that I could get a Kobo that had the touchscreen and cloud and indexed search of the Kindles, or a Kindle that had the customization abilities of the Kobos!!

I only keep up to 500 books on my reader at any time, so a search for a character across all books wouldn't work for me. If I wanted to do a search like that, I'd search my Calibre library on my PC with a program that will search the contents of each file. But since it would be possible that I wouldn't have all the novels with a particular character, I'd probably end up using Google. A search like that only works if you have all the possible books on your reader.
So I still much prefer the Kobo search over Kindle any day even with its ridiculous limit of 100 items. Hopefully someday Kobo will do away with that limit and have a real search function though.
