There is currently no search option (within book files) whatsoever in BookFusion, on none of the 3 platforms (iOS, Android, web).
That's elementary, basic functionality, of course, so I added it to my above list of BookFusion bugs/feature requests, putting it at #5 and tagging it as must-have.
While I was at it, I also added another sorely missing piece of functionality, putting it at #6 in the list and also tagging it as must-have. It's about missing book file information.
In BookFusion, you currently have no way of knowing how long or short any book in your library is – other than actually opening it and looking at the (completely random, depending on your screen size) "page" number in the book's footer.
There should be a standard way of looking up this information, both without actually opening the book and while the book is opened.
At a minimum, in addition to "page/screen" numbers (which, apart from PDF files, will vary depending on your current device/screen size), the non-changing data of number of words and number of characters for each book file should be available, along with file size (in KB and/or MB).
Library sorting options should include "from longest to shortest" book (and vice versa), "from largest to smallest" file size (and vice versa), etc.
I also like Moon+ Reader's estimation of "time necessary to read the book" (or to finish the book as you're reading it), which (I think) Moon+ Reader dynamically adjusts and updates depending on your actual speed of flipping the pages as you read the book.
Of course, "time to read" is even more guesswork than the random "(pseudo-)page" numbers in the footer, but I still find it useful in Moon+ Reader, and seeing that time estimate there in the footer at all times motivates me to continue reading the book and finish it faster, perhaps.
Thank you, @skillachie, if you can add these features to BookFusion later on.  |
Search
How can an eBook platform even consider it self to be serious if basic search is not within the Books? Are you sure you used BookFusion or even have the latest version installed.
Please double check the app you have installed. Search is available across iOS, Web and Android all accessible from the same location via the search icon.
See the images below that have search
Please correct the blasphemy in your post sir.
Tagging
You are currently able to tag both books and individual highlights in the iOS and Web App.
1. Tagging books from the edit screen
2. Tagging highlights
Click the tag icon next to the color icon.
3. Book File information
As mentioned in the previous post we already do provide some of this from the book cover. File size( KB/MB), Tags and other data.
The only thing we do not have on the book cover currently is the number of words and total estimated time. We can look at including these additional details
We recently added number of pages left in chapter in the iOS app and will also add the ability to tap and change this to time left in chapter.
4. Additional sorting options

To be honest, we have never had the request to sort by file size before. How does this sorting option helps you to pick what to read next or when searching for a book?
