Looking at the Kiwix app for Android, it doesn't seem to have full-text search within articles (unless I missed it). I assume that this was left out of the Android version for performance reasons.
Don't assume, ask Emmanuel (cc Offline-l). If I understand correctly, you're talking of small selections of articles (hundreds or thousands). Making an index for tens of GB of text takes hours, so Kiwix doesn't always make one (on desktop, you usually download the pre-made index). But for few articles, the problem is easier (and one can also reduce compression). In general, I have no idea what it means that "zero team starts to think about pre-loaded content": sounds a lot like reinventing Kiwix, which would be a disastrous idea. :)
