Kobo's sync to its servers has the control over the Kobo database.

Luck is what I would need. So far I haven't had much joy trying KoReader's search function. First was configuring KoReader to use the calibre.metadata file on the external uSD card rather than on the internal storage -- setting the library path to /mnt/sd is not intuitive when I'm trying to set the search path. Secondly, finding that it does not return series unlike the Kobo search which returns the series and lets me tap on a series name to see only the books in the series. Thirdly, the books returned seem in a rather random order -- probably from the way that they are stored in the calibre metadata file in contrast to Kobo's alphabetical ordering.
This is using the 2014-08-13 / 2014-04.514 release of KoReader.
