Thanks for your comments in advance
@Danesh - the optional Quality Check PI has a feature - but its slow.

IMO its better to get your OS to index the library folders and use its search facility, maybe not if your on XP - or use a 3rd party product.

I regularly search 3 calibre libraries (70,000 books), email, blog posts, notebooks, documents, et cetera with Windows Search - average search takes 2-10 seconds. You have to have a searchable format - Windows can't index EPUB or MOBI, OS/X Spotlight will index EPUB not sure about MOBI.
