PI IDEA: User Specified Word Search/Count return

NOTE: Plug-in ENF does not do this, not will it be expanded per dev.

For example, say I want to know the frequency of the word "hall" in a book. This would be basic text and thus include combinations that include it such as "hallmark" as well as including any capitalized version such as "Hall" or "Hallway". I'm sure a creator could add options for exact word and such...

It would search for multiple books at once for a word or group of user specified words and return that info as specified by the user: perhaps append or prepend comments or create tags in a custom column based on results such as tag: hall-55 .
These searches and group of user specified words could also be saved as a type of search withing the PI rather than retyping each time.


Statistical info like this can be very helpful to a user. For example, in my case I'm not fond of books full of vulgarity. Sometimes, you just don't know what you are going to be reading. I'd like to take what I already do via Calibre and improve my "word existence" search to including a count of the frequency of the word I specify as well as creating tags in a customized column based on the returned info (rather than the comments - example of tag: hall-50) This will help me to better categorize books as to the content and feel of the book.

I'm sure others would have other uses if such word counts help them deduce information about a book.

I haven't found any plug-in that does this. I use Quality Check/Search epubs currently to get some of this info in groups, but I'd like a method more efficient and more informative that what I already do with that.
