Calibre is a Card Catalog on Steroids (plus other features).

You appear to be wanting some sort of heavy duty research document tool

The tag browse method is a casual way to create searches. You can always type the same search terms by hand.

VL's are a easy way to create a filtered subset of the Library. Regular Searches now apply only to the VL (subset). very handy and it keeps the unique part of the actual search a lot simpler.
