Exact phrases search? Any readers with this feature?
Hey guys, I'm wondering if there is a ebook reader that will do exact phrases. I know Kindle will search all the books on your device but it doesn't have an option to search for the exact phrase. I was a little surprised Nook Color does search exact phrases but you can only search one book at a time. I''m wondering if there is a device I can search all the books at once for a phrase.

Anyone know?

I'm looking for a ebook reader that can do it if there is one.

Pretty much every book reader will let you search within the book that you're reading.

There are relatively few that will do "global" searches across all books. As you say, the Kindle will; I don't know off-hand of any others.

Thanks. I really love Kindle Index's.. if he had wild cards to do exact searches it would be perfect, or if Nook Color let you do a global search it would be awesome. I guess I'll just have to do Kindles global to get close or search one book at a time with Nook color.
