It's a modified version of the Sumatra PDF IFilter, see ==>> xplorer˛ blog: search filter for EPUB ebooks

Search seems to work well, I did some tests on 30,000+ epubs in Windows File Explorer, search times were sub 5 seconds, which is the same as searching the companion 30,000+ DOCX files. As expected I had to rebuild the indexes after installing the DLL.

I could only get the Plain Text Preview feature working in an old payware version of xplorer˛, maybe there's some way to get it working in File Explorer I'll ask the xplorer˛ developer. Not sure if it would It should work in xplorer˛ Lite which is free.

If I find anything new, I'll add a post here.

This looks very cool, thanks for sharing. Are you still using it? If so, how has it been since?
