I have to manually select the virtual library/search myself every time I choose a new View. It's quite frustrating.
@BookJunkieLI - no problems here. I don't use the search related settings in View Manager (VM) settings, and I always open libraries in a specific View and where appropriate in a specific Virtual Library.

However, after installing V2.19 a kb shortcut I had set up for one of my Views, which I use very frequently, stopped working. It had been 'taken over' by a new kb shortcut provided in the QuickView (QV) enhancements... quote:Version 2.19 "Quick view window: Allow the quickview window to be docked into the main calibre window.". I fixed it by removing the new QV kb shortcut and restoring my VM shortcut.

Aside : I wish calibre wouldn't do that, it's happened a couple of times recently. I was under the impression the unified kb shortcut mechanism was supposed to prevent it happening.

Maybe the QV changes are the cause of your problems. You can see the QV related changes at ==>> Commits · kovidgoyal/calibre. They're easy to spot as they have cbhaleys icon, I think the first QV related commit was on Feb 1.

The VM settings are stored in the library metadata.db files, you can see what's there in the corresponding metadata_db_prefs_backup.json files. I recall having a problem with VM (though I can't recall precisely what) that I fixed by removing the relevant entries in the json file, rebuilding the database via Library Maintenance->Restore database and then recreating the VM settings for that library.
