Hi all.
I'm a new user of Forma, have a noob question. How can I search for a word across all the books in my library? My books are sideloaded through calibre. On Oasis, after it finishes indexing new books, I can search from home page for a word and it will show the books that contain it. On Forma the same search only shows books where the word is in the name of the book. But it doesn't search inside the books. For example, I search for "baseball", I only get the list of books with names containing "baseball". I do have other books that contain this word, they are not showing in results.

I'm hoping it's possible to do on Forma and it's just a user error.
Thanks in advance!
