IIRC when you do a search with a virtual library applied only the books in that virtual library a re searched (technically the virtual library search is first done, and then the actual search, but the VL search is cached, so effectively, only the actual search is done.)

As for sorting, I think the full library is sorted. It may be possible to change that, but it will take careful coding. Something to look at when I am done fixing all the tiny bugs in 1.0.

EDIT: The above applies only to the new database backend in 1.0. The old backend did no search caching at all.
