Question

I am trying to create an interactive book using corona and kwik (http://kwiksher.com).. i found that kwik will greatly help me especially on the part of the ebook layout, contents, animations & links.. but it still fall short of full-fledged interactive book, mainly the absence of search function – so i need to create it from scratch.
my question is, how do I do it? because technically since every word in the book need to be searchable, do I need to dump all the words in the ebook into a database or I can do the search function without resorting to use of database? because obviously I will ‘hardcode’ all the words into the ebook.
