Greetings, I have not had time to write, but I am resuming testing with PowerSearch.

If you remember the process "OpenJDK Platform binary" running as a service on windows 10 located in C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\7.16.1\jdk\bin\java.ex e" was not closing. I followed @mapozian's suggestion and changed the "OpenJDK Platform binary" service from Automatic to Manual. However, PowerSearch crashes and indicates that it cannot launch Elasticsearch. I had to leave it back to automatic to get it to work.
There are also 2 more processes running in parallel C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\7.16.1\bin\elactisearch.exe and C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\7.16.1\modules\x-pack-ml\platform\windows-x86_64\bin\controller.exe

It also has erratic behavior when searching for words in the recently added and indexed books, as it returns 0 results. There are about 80 books added today...could it be that it has not finished indexing them yet? I have indexed them several times. I understand that PowerSearch has to be instructed to index the new books and that it doesn't do it automatically or in the background.

I know the problem is mine for having too many files. When I search in groups of 10 files it takes about a minute to return the result. The first 30 seconds it freezes with the indication "not working", then it starts searching.

Is there something wrong and would it be good to reinstall powersearch or elactisearch? I like the concept of Powersearch so much that I am willing to keep trying to get it to work on my pc.

I understand that my suggestion to add the information of how many times the plug-in found a word in each text to know which book is better is difficult. However, many users use Calibre as a library manager rather than a book converter. In that it is great. We can manage books by subject, keywords, etc., which is very important in research but if, for example, I have a result of 50 books I can't discriminate which one will be best. PowerSearch can refine that search, since it is not the same a certain word in a footnote citation than several hundred times in a book or a paper. It would be a very significant leap to be able to do that.

Sorry for the length of this, but I am very excited about the potential of PowerSearch.
Thank you very much.
