I was talking about internal fields in the format itself.

Have you investigated using one library and library restrictions to treat different books as if they were in different libraries.

Yup, that's what I do now, as it's much easier. Which meant I had to revamp my whole tag system, which is now mostly completed and allows easy informal searching by just typing one or several tags in the search box, using no formal field prefixes and just simple operators AND or OR. I'm amazed at how easy and precise that is once the tags aren't common words.
Edit: And also don't bother with saved searches or formal restrictions unless it's a very complicated operation, which is rare.
