Is that possible on other software? I mean search within a book for other books in your device.

Right now, that feature is part of the filemanager app, see https://github.com/koreader/koreader...agersearch.lua. For most of us that makes sense as "search" is somewhat context aware: you can search for books/OPDS in the filemanager but you cannot search full text.

Anyways, if you feel like it is an improvement to have that menu entry available within a book, you can submit a PR on github. "Feature creep" is not in our vocabulary and that's somehow weird because both dictionary and wikipedia lookups are available on the file manager and the reader
