No, I haven't looked at Powersearch. It might help within Calibre, but I doubt it would help with the books I haven't imported because I want to know whether it'll be worth the hassle. It takes time to pre-process the pdf files, in whole or in part, import them, type up the metadata, etc.

Do any of these build a possible-reading list which I can go through and check off?

Thanks.

P.S. Another possibility would be a search tool which can search for separate words, so, for example, a search for "plates" will not return "contemplates," and which can show results where the terms occur within siome reasonable distance of each other, and where they don't overlap, so that 1894 doesn't count as a hit for both "89" and "94."
