Just a follow-up post on this topic, I finally got around to playing with the Calibre Content Server, and unfortunately it is not a workable solution for me.
The Full-Text Search functionality only returns a list of books containing the looked-up word, with context for the first instance of the word found in the book; it won't mention how many instances of the word are found in the book, or provide context for the other instances found.
Selecting a book will actually download the book to the browser cache, which is not an ideal place to store cookbooks as they can be very large; once the book is downloaded, epubs will open at the first instance of the word in that book, while PDFs are simply opened at the beginning of the book.
Unfortunately I returned the Android device I recently bought, so the "Search in Books" solution
mentioned above is no longer available to me. I'm back to square one!
