Search within book
I've just recently installed KOreader for the first time, so I'm not very familiar with all the features yet.
When long-pressing a certain word in the book and select search, the word(s) is highlighted on the current page and I can skip through all, similar to the search function in MS Word. I'd want the search function to be similar to the one in Nickel, though. Is that possible? |

Could you describe what you mean by " the one in Nickel"? I don't think I ever used that.

Of course!
You highlight a word by long-pressing it, hit the search button and a list of "tiles" shows up, each showing an excerpt of a certain text passage, where the word in search appears, sorted by appearance in the book from beginning to end. That way I can browse through the results quickly and also see what the context was, where the word has shown up. Once I found the specific passage I was looking for, I just click it and the according page shows up. From that point you can go back to search results or directly back to the page you were before initiating the search. |

In short: The only in-book-search-function available is the one the Koreader comes with?
