Please Kovid, if you do read this discussion, *please*, do not dumb down the search just because some users can not be bothered to read documentation or use icon next to search bar ;-)

I think the OP was pretty clear about what he/she wanted: some sort of fuzzy search. Ignore punctuation. Apply stemming. And all that when you type a simple search term. Remember, Regular Expressions are not for everyone. Neither are SQL JOIN statements.
As I said, I never had any problem with the search features in Calibre, which indeed are very powerful. But I do understand that for many people it might be nice e.g. that if you type
John Smith you also find books written by John Smythe.
But I agree with kacir that a search feature like that should never *replace* the current search. It might be a nice *addition* to it. And usage should be optional, e.g. in the form of a checkbox next to the search bar.
