I think a much more efficient way to do it would just be to take advantage of the "Spell Check" functionality. (I use this ALL THE TIME in Sigil).
I mean, it already lists every single word in the book, why not take advantage of that?
Just type a capital letter 'I' in the search, and you should be able to see every single word with the letter 'I' in it:
Here is the Calibre Manual on the Spell Check functionality:

Side Note: The Spell Check tool is also extremely helpful to catch hyphens + accented words + lots of other stuff:

Potential Calibre Enhancement: It would be nice to also be able to toggle a Case Sensitive SEARCH. This could definitely make the Spell Check tool much more useful than Sigil's implementation. (I daresay, this might just be useful enough to make me jump ship.... maybe.
)
For example, here is a book in Sigil showing off all of the misspelled (not in a dictionary) words with a lowercase 'i' and an uppercase 'I':
It would be nice to see the words with ONLY the uppercase version. (For example, finding "Ice-Cream" but not "ice-cream")
