Searching on the Kindle

Here is a converstion I'm having with Amazon:

My original question was:
========================
The Kindle User Guide says:
...
To perform a search, follow these steps:
1. If the bottom of your screen is not displaying the Search line,
press the Search key
(shown above).
2. Type in your search criteria. You can use whole words or partial
words, and no
distinction is made between lower and upper case.
...

I can't seem to get results for partial words. Searching for
"searchin" yields no results while "searching" yields many. Can I
search for part of a word?
=========================
Your response was:
==========================
Unfortunately, when searching for content in the Kindle store, you are
not able to search for part of a word. I would recommend using the
whole word for the best search results.

I hope you found this information useful. If you have any further
questions, please contact us again.

Thanks for shopping with Amazon.com
==========================

To clarify my question a bit, I was not concerned about searching the Kindle Store. I was interested for searching on my Kindle for the occurrence of (partial) words in books that I already have. Is there a way to do that?

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Cheers,
Bob
