I suspect you don't fully appreciate the context in which Kovid made that statement.

Here is some factual evidence from the software he wrote. Note the absence of XLS, LOG, CSV, MP4 etc, although I do have such things in my calibre libraries.





And here's a snippet from the manual he wrote

If I were to search my 113,704 item library by Dewey Decimal number I wouldn't have to wait long because that library contains documents, not books as such. And I have no idea what an LLC# is, LLC to me is either Limited Liability Company or Link Layer Control.

I do most of my searching via X1 and or Windows Search (< 2 secs for a full text search of my calibre libraries, 3 decades of emails, over million images, 5,000 blog posts, several decades of tax returns in half a dozen countries, a few thousand videos and transcripts, et cetera) and I use Evernote as the main front end to 3 calibre library server tasks.
