Indeed nothing beats on-device full-text search, but I'll take the next best thing. One good thing about my use case is that I don't need to expose my library over the internet, only locally on my LAN - I rarely cook outside the house!
But I agree with you, it
is a very clunky solution.

But this was Linux. My epubs are really just zip files, so a command line using "find", "xargs", and "zipgrep" worked just fine.

This could be an option as well, my "file server" at home is just a repurposed Raspberry Pi 3 running an OpenMediaVault (Linux) image. One key requirement for me however is to be able to quickly visualize the search results inside several books in a short timeframe; having to manually open each individual book and finding the relevant page (or searching again for the word inside the book) is too much hassle for me!
