I actually used search quite a bit it even in fiction on my old Gemstar readers. It's nice to be able to jump back to a particular quote, and search for an interesting passage that you vaugely recall.
The sony reader, however, is the first fiction reading hardware I've owned that doesn't allow searching - probably because it's the first one without a touch screen or keyboard.
It's not a deal breaker for me, but I can see how people would miss it. I hope they add some basic search function in the next revision.
BTW, does anyone know why Sony didn't go for a touch screen? Is it just that touch screen would interfere with the eInk? Or was it a cost saving issue?
