Thanks for the reply, Kovid. Can you tell me what function is called when I hit that little green arrow button? Sorry, I only have very basic Java programming skills.
Opps, didn't read correctly. The [GUI Plugin] Temp Marker plugin does similiar to what Kovid suggested.
Spoiler:
This plugin makes use of a feature introduced in Calibre 0.7.49 of allowing books to be temporarily marked using some criteria and then displayed with a search of marked:true. This feature is extensively used by the Quality Check plugin.

This plugin exposes the same functionality for end-users, to allow you to arbitrarily select books from your library under some criteria, without the "permanence" of applying tags or custom column values. For instance you may be selecting individual books that need editing or you wish to save to disk/send to device, but not actually perform the action straight away. Via a right-click menu or toolbar button you can add books to the marked list, and display as a search result at any time.

The marked list is cleared either by you selecting the Clear all marked menu item or as soon as Calibre is restarted, whichever comes first.
