Usually you have a search bar on top to search thru each offline wikis but in the NoJS mode there is none. Would be nice to use from terminal web browsers like w3m and be able to search also

$ firefox http://your_kiwix_address/nojs $ w3m http://your_kiwix_address/nojs select a wiki then no seachbar at all

This is still a problem, but is it a Kiwix-bug/missing feature or a ZIM/book-specific problem?

One thing to add: At least Wikipedia and Wiktionary webpages work without Javascript, so this has to be ZIM/Kiwix -related.
