A plugin allowing to add tag using the search function in the Calibre library.

For example I would like to add the tag 'Shakespeare' to books in my library containing the word 'Shakespeare' in the metadata (author, title, comments, ...), This tag will allow me to have theater but also biographies and fictions for this author.

I'm thinking of a plugin that works something like this:
Customize plugin :
- choose the Tags column or a Custom column of type Tags as source of tags.
- choose columns and comment as search metadata
Functioning :
- Search from one of the tags of a selected book or from a tag in the list of tags.
- Display of the list of books following the search
- Selection of books for which the tag will be added
- Addition of the tag

Sorry for my english, I use Google Translate
If I understand you correctly then you can do this easily with bulk metadata edit. The steps:
  1. Search for whatever you want. This will produce a list of books.
  2. Select all the books.
  3. Open calibre's "Edit metadata in bulk" dialog. There are lots of ways to do that.
  4. Pick the column you wish and add the tag.
