Is there a way to skip back to where I was reading after searching?

So in kindle if you search within the book there's a button at the bottom which says go back to current reading position, I.e. from where you started to search. Is this possible in KOrewder? I want to be able to search a phrase, or go to the end of the book, flip through a few pages and go back to where I was

Yes. The action is called 'Back to previous location' and the default gesture is to do a Left-Right multiswipe on a book page.

How do I use it / find it in the menu? I just tried it after searching and nothing seemed to happen. Is there a way to just see a button which takes me back to where I was after searching?

It's in the top menu, first tab (with the bookmark), last item. If the Left-Right gesture didn't work, your multiswipe gestures are possibly turned off. Enable them in the top menu, 3rd tab (gear), Taps and gestures, Gesture manager, enable 'Turn on multiswipes'.

You can also assign it to a tap-corner gesture, if you prefer. There is no way to have a button appear automatically. (You could show it as a QuickMenu, but you would still have to do the gesture for the button to appear, to then press the button. However, you could add other options onto the same QuickMenu, if you prefer it that way.)
