Ability to search within a published title

Search is nice to have. I haven't tried this with Lectora, but the toolset is pretty keen. I'd recommend leaning in this direction over something custom:

The tool indexes lots of file types including PDF's, Word, Flash SWFs - works pretty well and the search return is customizable. I imagine indexing a Lectora output package shouldn't be too much trouble. Might be able to put the custom search files in as externals > publish > process the search indexing excluding the search specific files > then drop the index files into the structure. Not a terrible post process.
The tool is reasonably priced to boot.
