I want to thank you for this utility - it does exactly what I was looking for, and it does it very quickly - once the initial indexing is done.

My only comments/feature requests have to do with user-friendliness and user feedback:

1. When I enter a search term and then click the "Search" button there is basically no feedback at all. It would be good to know that searching has started, or indexing of new books or whatever. It would also be good to be told when the search is finished, e.g. a dialog box telling me that searching is complete, that X out of Y books have been found satisfying the search criteria, an OK button to list the books found in the grid and a "Refine search" button if I want to work more on the search criteria.

2. Changed size and/or position of the Search dialog window are not saved.

3. I would appreciate it if the last 10 or so search terms used were saved and made available in a dropdown.

4. The text in the Readme dialog has lines that are too long to read without scrolling right and left, and the dialog cannot be resized.

5. In the Options dialog, it would be much clearer if the book formats to be indexed were listed with checkboxes - as Terry Brown already suggested.

Even so, I'm already having a lot of fun with Power Search!
