Usually not a problem, but if one specifically wants to search the calibre-server interface, one is out of luck -- calibre doesn't generate one.
A custom one is needed.
Gotcha - I wondered if the OP wanted to search elsewhere whilst viewing server. That's where click.to is handy - highlight text, click the icon you want (Google, WikiP, Facebook etc etc), saves futzing around with coffee & pasta.

Wonder how hard would be to add searchability to server, it would need to drill down into the book pages to find anything useful - maybe it'll be in the new calibre-server KG is mentioned yesterday.

The categories in servers are usually adequate for my purposes. But I don't access servers remote - can't afford the electricity to run them

Are any of the OPDS front ends searchable - I was wondering if I might follow up itimpi, with an Airstash on Android.

BR
