I have a Calibre library with 2.000 technical books and if I want to find, which book writes about a theme in some capitol, how can I search for it?

thanks for the help,

@Jacare:

Yes, but only if you have created a companion .txt format for each epub, pdf etc.

The MCS plug-in has a flexible full-text search tool using regular expressions and many other filters, but only for .txt formats. The theory is that it is cheaper to create a .txt copy one time and reuse it many times than vice-versa via dynamic text extraction from the original format for every search in the future.
