Just wanted to make sure y'all are thinking about that, because given that singular lack, I just don't think that text searching on the Reader is something that it would be wise to hold your breath on.
Well, Sony is quite good at on-screen, virtual keyboards. You could, theoretically, have a software keyboard that uses the joystick to select different letters. However, it would be a pain to use, especially with the refresh rate of e-ink. I think we're better off with no on-device search.
