I have a similar question. I am brand new to Calibre, and it is an AMAZING tool, so thank you for it!

I also have thousands of book records in my library. I am in the process of cleaning up my library systematically. To do this, I use search quite frequently, but once I am finished with my search and I clear that search, it would be nice if Calibre didn't return me to the very beginning of my library. I would like Calibre to return to the same record I had highlighted when I cleared my search. So for example, if my search/filter turns up 3 records, organized by author:

Jane Doe
Jenny Doe
John Doe *highlighted*

If I highlight *John Doe* and then hit the Reset Quick Search button, I would like to be returned to *John Doe*, about halfway through my unfiltered library list, rather than Abby Adams at the very top of my unfiltered library list. This would eliminate a lot of unnecessary scrolling.

Is there a setting or plugin that allows this? Thank you.
