Another approach that is somewhat equivalent but less streamlined, but provides additional options in case there are combinations of texts that you do or do not want (and/or you're limiting your work to a subset of your ePub library), would be to set up some temporary columns and as you select various ePub subsets based on various search criteria, use "edit metadata in bulk" to put content into one of the columns. For example, put an A in one column for the full set of books you want to search; put a B in another column for all those books that DO contain specific text you DON'T want; put a C in another column for those books that DO contain some other text that you DO want; put a D in another column for all books that have A and C but not B.
