Hi @droopy,

I mentioned Voidtools Everything (hence 'VE' instead of EV, how I like to call it...), because we were talking about search speed, in general. It's Windows-only, indeed.

FTS-wise, I don't see much difference in speed between my main Calibre install on a SSD, and a portable instance I have on an external HDD.

One way I know to obtain faster FTS results, on a large library, is to search a restricted subset of books. For instance, type on main calibre search box tags:fiction, then open the FTS dialogue and check "Restrict searched books" before running a query.
