Another problem is that sometimes when I type what to search for and tap GO, nothing happens. I can fix this by tapping one of the previously search for words and then doing another search and it typing in the word works.

The reason I said previously that searching worked was because it so happened I was on the page that had the result I was looking for and whenI searched, it highlighted what I wanted.

It is working on a different book but, I've double checked both books with Calibre's book check and epubcheck and They both give the same warnings in Calibre and no errors shown with epubcheck.

This is all with RMDSK. I have no idea what's going on.
Thank you for the detail. I'm sure it will be fixed soon because I'm sure the report you made to Kobo for the bug included even more detail.

Having said that, I can reproduce the problem with tapping "Go". Most of my searches are started by selecting a word in the text, so that is why I didn't see it. I can't reproduce any of the other problems. Navigating between the matches works perfectly in the books I tried (including one with over 6000 pages). If it doesn't work for a particular book, then it's probably something about that book. Does everything else work for the book? Annotation, ToC etc. Maybe one of those errors calibre is showing is actually important. Are you sure the version on the device is the same as the one in calibre? Or have you changed it and resent it to the device? In any case, without seeing the book that it doesn't work for, I can't really guess. But, I'm sure you have supplied both a working and a non-working sample to Kobo so they can see what is wrong.
