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. |
Yes, I've never bothered to make CCS accessible over the internet generally, and almost never have any reason to use it otherwise. And of course you need to have the host machine up and running calibre.
I would still want
local, on-device content search of the content the app has currently downloaded.
