As has been discovered, firmware version 4.9.11311 has been released. This is a mainly a fix for 4.8.11090 and should be the merge of firmware versions for the Clara HD and other devices.

The release notes cover the changes I know about. But, I'll add a comment about the search.

The in-book search limit has been removed, except if the search term is three characters long or less. This is deliberate and not a bug. The search also seems to be faster.

Recent known and new bugs:

Still a tap to change the reading progress display.
For epubs, the initial display is shifted up so that there is virtually no top margin. But, when you change the reading settings, the page is reformatted to have the usual top margin. It will also be fixed after using the previous location button, after navigating to another page via the ToC or the navigation bar.

For calibre, I will be checking in the update to support the 4.9.x firmware shortly. This will be in the next release. But, there are no changes needed except to bump the supported version. It is safe to use the "Attempt to support newer firmware version" option in the driver.
