Agreed, if one is only concerned about knowing whether a word or expression is present in a document or not, and if one doesn’t mind fiddling with files in this manner. We’re just getting very far from what I was looking for when I created this thread: an iOS app which will search an expression inside multiple PDFs and ePubs, return all instances found across all books with contextual information (e.g. for each instance, an extract of the passage containing the expression), and when selecting one of those instances, will open the book directly at the location of that instance.
The Android app “Search in Books” which I mentioned above does all this extremely well; it’s unfortunate that there is no iOS version.
