Unfortunately no. There is no way to enter text without a keypad/keyboard or touchscreen. Using the 5-way controller to enter text would be extremely cumbersome. So Sony opted to exclude the search feature.

BTW: A travel guide would probably be a very big file due to the large number of images. Large files tend not to do as well on the PRS-300 as it takes a long time to open them and to navigate within them. No problems with most eBooks, but really large ones can slow he Reader way down.
