Search word within book limitations

Ripplinger · 03-23-2014, 02:35 AM

I realize I'm using older firmware (2.4.0) so maybe it's changed in more recent versions. But it seems when you search for a word within a book, you're limited to only 100 max entries and it ignores everything else. I was hoping it would show 100 entries going forward from where you are in the book, but it doesn't do that either.

Is there any way to change that limitation, possibly with an entry in the Kobo eReader.conf file?

I had never noticed the limit to 100 matches. 3.2.0 still has the limit and it still searches from the beginning. An option to find the next batch of 100 would be a good idea.

I have noticed that too and was very disappointed (in fact, I was reading a crime book and wanting to know beforehand if a character would die or not I search for her name in the book and it stopped at 100 occurences).
