How can I "tell" which keywords were found where? Is there a temporary way to see which is found in which books metadata? Is there a way to then apply permanent "highlight" to that books Comment? or Tag it?
I assume the search terms would be ORd.

Rather than modifying Comments for the books that satisfy the search criteria, I would probably Mark the books, and add the search-expression to a custom long text column via :

But that doesn't answer your primary question: "In which metadata columns were the search terms found?" - I'm not aware of any way of getting that - other than eyeballing the Book Details panel. And, I suspect the search of a book's metadata would cease when a positive result is found - e.g. if "Hebbian Learning" appeared in a book's title the search would stop for that book.

I'm not familiar with that tool, the Drop Search Results plugin can use a results list from other search tools (Windows Search, File Locator, Agent Ransack, X1, Everything and others) to Mark books in a calibre library.

And, there's another plugin that might be relevant - Multi-column Search.
