Images might have been ignored as well, which wouldn't really mater as I wouldn't be searching on them anyway.

I've tried do the same with the zip iFilter from the iFiltershop. In fact it still there see attachment, but all it does is to index contents of the zip in terms of file names, but not the contents thereof. Citeknet have an iFilter zip, I think I tried it with similar results - but it could be that there's another.
I know my library folders are being indexed because docx, rtf, pdf, chms etc show up in search, and its that list of file paths that I massage with notepad++ macros to create a csv that I give to the ImportList PI to create a Reading List.
I just found this
http://www.sigmasd.com/product/Zip-IFilter/322038.
It refers to the IFiltershop product. Sigma appears to be a UK based systems integrator - I'll send them a mail and ask how to make it work for zips dressed up as ePUBs. But I wont hold my breath expecting response.

10-20 years ago I would have done it by now, but these days whilst the back brain knows what must done, the front brain says it has better things to do with its time, disk space is cheap, and not all PDFs can be readily converted to ePUB etc, etc. :lol:
What did you mean by '
I almost maxed out Indexing at 1.97 Gb after going through my entire library'? I didn't think there was a limit on its size other than available drive space. I index much more than what's in the calibre library folders.

PS : thanks for your interest in this, it may lead to getting the zip Ifilter to do on epubs what sigma claims it can do on zips, then I might be tempted to clone the Recoll plugin for WDS.
