Search all books in KoReader

Hi,

I recently bought a Kobo Clara BW and installed KoReader - loving it so far. One feature I'm sorely missing from my kindle is the ability to search all books for a search term. It's very handy when reading longer book series. From the available documentation, I gather that it's not a built in feature - is it still possible somehow though?

I did a quick Google search and was surprised to find that I couldn't even find that the question had been asked before. Which puzzles me and makes me think that I might just have the wrong search terms. Sorry about that, if that's the case.

Thanks in advance!

You cannot search for a term within book texts, but you can search for a term within book metadata (author, title, series...).
Indexing all books (as Kindle does) is not planned.
