Apologies if this is a FAQ... Just acquired a (used) reMarkable for possible use as a songbook, and my main gripe about it so far is that when I have a long list of PDFs it takes forever to scroll to the one I'm looking for. I've gone through and Tagged everything with the first letter of its name to reduce that problem, but what I really want is to be able to assign tags programmatically. (I'd say I'd want to be able to search for a document containing a phrase, but I'm guessing there's no way the putt-putt processor on the tablet could do that fast enough unless I do the search in advance and store the results.)

So: Is there a document somewhere that would briefly get me started on understanding how KOReader binds tags to PDF files? Or do I just have to wade into the code?

(If the latter, it'll be a while; I've got too many projects already in progress.)
