No, it's not that easy: You can't open a local file with JavaScript, so there 
is no easy way to search through the search index...
The only workaround would be to create an iframe with JavaScript, where the 
whole search index is loaded in memory, and then use JavaScript to search 
through the text of that iframe... This has the big drawback that the whole 
search index is always loaded in memory for each page (while in fact we'd only 
need to go through it line-by-line).

Cheers,
Reinhold
