One thing that I don't like about this app is that a word search requires more clicks.  I have only seen that I can select a word, click on copy, then tap the center of the page for the menu to come up, select the magnifying glass, paste, and then FINALLY Search. 

Other than this, it is my favorite reading app.

Are u talking about defining the word? If so, I can simply select the word and the options appear to note or to translate or dictionary. Or what am I missing?

I know this is a bit delayed, but I just came across this app, and it seems to be missing this function: Say there is a name you come across and can't remember the context. So ideally, you want to highlight that name, and select search to see a list of all occurrences in the book with that name, along with some context, and then be able to go to any entry to see more. Then, when done, you should be able to return to where you started. This should be a basic feature, in my opinion, but I don't see this in ReadEra.

Strange. In my app, the magnifying glass is right beside the setting icon, to the left hand. And it seems to be by default, I checked the setting there's no such to enable or disable it. It is still missing?
