Are there many cases of people who read novels searching for a word or phrase across multiple books? I can't come up with any need to do that. Please educate me. A Kindle is a very low horsepower device (computing power). That's got to be a heckuva burden on the poor thing to do all that parsing and processing. Can you turn that feature off?

I use it quite often. I've read thousands fanfics and I'd often remember a phrase from a story but I can't remember the title or author. I would normally run full text search (regex) using Notepad++ on the PC. I find it very convenient to have similar functionality on the Kindle.
Once the book is indexed, searches are super quick. Can't search a book if it's not indexed though. Understandable given the limited processing power.
