XKS or eXtended shelf search when the individual content has been indexed with the ALS (advanced linguistic search), does work well as it follows many of the patterns as the BookManager search.
The problem is getting everyone to ALS index each component pub that goes out in PDF form. We now have a check in place that will suggest that the content owner do this indexing when it's ready to go on the final deployment server. We do this check on many of the books that come from a common internal tooling framework. The result will be starting to show up in the field in 2013. The "base" library of zOS has had this for quite awhile. We are not able to enforce content owners indexing. Those content owners who do ICs only, do not necessarily provide PDFs. All that said, the corporate direction is "Information Centers" and any follow-on to information centers.
