GRiker is doing a plugin that needed per-book storage. I am not sure what it does.
However, I volunteered some time back (in this thread)to build such a thing, and he took me up on it.

Now this sounds like you might have seen my post wish list for the "Show in tag viewer" plug-in  As you have done all the hard work are you going to finish the job and write the plug-in too?

Nope.
The API is used in the newest release, but not in a way that replaces the plugin. There is now a 'find' box on the top of the tag browser that is used to search/filter the tags. There isn't a way to do the search directly from the library view, which is what I imagine the plugin would do.
This is in addition to multi-level categories, also in the next release. You can tell calibre to subdivide a category by first letter or by partitioning it into fixed-sized blocks. For partitioned display, the labels are under your control via a tweak -- the default is the first 4 letters of the first item and the first 4 letters of the last item, as in 'Adam - Flin'. You also have control of the number of items in a partition.
