The key trick to getting around this with PDFs is to have access to a full copy of Acrobat and regularly run 'pdfindex' to generate an index file for all your PDF documents. You can give that index file to the PDF reader, and your searches will work more like the Bookie ones (cross-book and intra-book). I'd distribute my index file, but pdfindex generates a file with absolute paths in it, so you'd have to organize your books the same way I do for it to be useful.

The bookshelf search is something that I use all the time as well. I can't seem to get similar search results using the other documentation media.
