Searching in Kobo Reader.

svenlind · Today, 08:38 AM

Hi,
I have some troubles searching for a word in all my Kobo readers. Some times it works and some times not.
I press the search icon and select "Current Read".
I then enter the word and press "Go" and very often, but not always I get "o results found."

I intended to use it on a persons name in order to refresh my memory.
To be specific I searched on the name "Palfrey", no results.
To test I tried "heathrow" many results,

"junior" no results
"boy" many results.

I am of course sure that all the words exist.

Works very well in the Calibre Reader.

Any ideas?

Edit: Works fine in Kindle Oasis.

Odd. I just tried searching for palfrey and junior in a book that I was reading and results came up for both. Kobo's search is not case sensitive which eliminates some possibilities.

What language do you have your Kobo set to?

Searching is working correctly on my Kobos too (both Kobos and most of the books are in English).
