Thank you
Quoth for the suggestion.
tomsem, you are right, however it turns out there is an interesting twist to this.
While I indeed thought at first that this was not a workable solution, after a bit of digging I discovered that the Calibre full-text search functionality mentioned by Quoth
made its way into the Calibre Content Server in December last year. I never used the Calibre Content Server, but from my understanding it is essentially a web server making the contents of the whole Calibre library accessible to any web browser, e.g. Safari (or any third-party browser) on the iPad for my use case.
I didn't have time yet to install it on my NAS and test it, however this looks like a promising path to explore.
