Is this multiple library connection possible with the kobo? How does overdrive work on the kobo?
The builtin function is limited to a single library. You can link to an Overdrive account and then use Libby or similar to borrow the books which will then sync to your Kobo though I only tested that once a few years back when Overdrive was first added to Kobo's ereaders.

Are overdrive-borrowed books read with the built-in kobo ereader? Is it possible to search within a loaned book?
The ereader can search inside a borrowed book. To the ereader, it is no different from reading or searching a book that was purchased from Kobo and synced to your ereader.
