If I wanted to search across multiple libraries I would have to partition the results list and create separate csv's for each library. In practice I do the same search on each library, but it's never more than two libraries.

BetterRed thanks for the tips. I am actually wondering if this was possible in Callibre. However I will try searching opfs on my Linux as a side solution.
