I performed your exact suggested search and it seems my luck with Google is far less than your own as I didn't find many relevant hits at all. When I reviewed those they, in the main, resolved to the poster "finding" the library so the books were in fact not "gone completely" as you are claiming in your own case.

While I did not want to spend the rest of my day searching for and reviewing the few cases where the thread was not resolved with the books found, in those that was because there was no response by the poster as to the result of their performing the suggested actions by other i.e. the outcome could not be determined by reading the post.

It would seem that you are exaggerating in making the claim that many have the same problem as you i.e. that they have completely lost their books, rather than just mislaying them (usually by some action of their own).

Given that almost everyone is of the view that it is most unlikely that Calibre has lost your books (and it would seem that if it has it is an extraordinary occurrence), why do you not just restore your backup of your library and see how that goes?
