I agree with @Tarana.

I frequently use virtual libraries to narrow down the books I need to search through. And you don't need to create permanent vl's to do so.

Let's say you're looking for, idk, a Fantasy book that has unicorns in it. You've tagged your books with the Fantasy tag but not unicorns but you know they're mentioned in the book summary. Do a search however you normally would for the Fantasy tag then click on the Virtual Library to the left of the search box and then select *current search. See the image attached.
This restricts the searchable books to just the ones marked Fantasy while allowing you to conduct new simple searches. Otherwise you'd have to create a search something like: tags:"=Fantasy" and unicorns
You can also just keep hitting *current search as you narrow down the field. It might get a little unwieldy depending on far you're drilling down but it is doable.
