I've reviewed the few posts on how others are "managing" their PDF magazine collections, but haven't seen anything that speaks to this.

I have a novice's understanding of calibre and eager to learn and implement its tools and tweaks(?) to et the most out of it. I love it, actually, but have only skimmed the surface of what I think it's capable of doing.

I have a growing collection of woodworking mags in PDF format and am doing okay with inputting my own metadata since there really is not source for downloading. And that's okay.

Questions:
1. What do you suggest as a method/means for finding(?) an article on a particular topic across the library of magazines?
Let's say I want to see the magazines which might have an article on how to build an "arts & craft style table" - what could I do to find mgz with those references?

2. Also, if I'm reading an article that I'd like to "star(?)" sorta as a favorite for future review, how to best keep that marked to find later?. Perhaps it's about a piece of furniture I might like to build at a later date.

It seems tagging is okay for this, but more for the overall mgz collection. And, I would have to have all possible topics tagged beforehand. I've seen the idea of creating a table of contents in the Comments section; not sure if that is most optimal way for doing this.

Thoughts?

Thank you,
