I don't know what I had before, but it was more than that. The book I was currently reading doesn't show in search. I'm hoping that Kobo is thinking in the background and will find the rest of my books.
I tried to give it a go. But I am rolling backwards and will wait to install future updates.
Edit: I've reinstalled 4.30 and the patches. Each time I restart it says 'importing content' or some such and my book count increases.
It says there are no series and all my collection names are there, but they show 0 books. I just reconnected to Calibre and ejected. It is importing content again and hopefully that will fix it.

This sounds depressingly like the behavior of my old NOOK GlowLight3. That beast seemed to re-import ALL sideloaded material whenever I sideloaded anything new. With a sizeable sideloaded library, it took a LONG time. And disconnecting the NOOK from the PC before it finished was a bad idea. Very bad.
The re-imported books fell off the user-created shelves because they were "new".
All this is what first convinced me to abandon NOOK for Kobo. So my fingers are crossed that they will undo whatever voodoo curse they've allowed to creep in.
