I don't believe so, wallcraft. Although I'm just getting into this Mobipocket stuff, it appears to me that a book has to be a "dictionary" in order to allow searches in the first place. With my Palm, there are two ways to do this: you can either do a straightforward lookup, or you can search for occurrences of a word. This is most easily seen with, for example an English-to-French dictionary, where the normal (and fastest) mode is to enter a word in English. I can instead search on a particular French word, but it takes quite a bit longer (a few seconds), and I get back multiple entries, some of which contain only incidental useages of the word.
At any rate, the iLiad doesn't seem to offer any of this except a straighforward lookup of a word you type in. And as I mentioned above, it also allows for the looking up of a word encountered in any other Mobipocket book.
