The OP doesn't realize that one can put PDF files onto the Kindle. I think that would solve the OP's problem. First convert the book to PDF using a scanner, then load the files onto the kindle or laptop or whatever it is that you use. Adobe reader has a search facility. I think Google desktop will also do this but I haven't used it myself. Essentially you want a search engine that goes through the files on your computer but doesn't involve the Internet in any way so that you don't accidentally violate copyright.
