It would be relatively trivial to add book metadata to app index to make that content searchable with Spotlight but it would not solve this more general use case.
I think developers of BookFusion could justify adding such a feature, especially if it were tied to a paid subscription (which can be as little as $19/yr). They update the app frequently, and have an Android app too.

Agreed. This is definitely planned and will be implemented. However, index size will be massive for some library sizes.
We already integrated book metadata for downloaded books into Spotlight. Details at the link. However, the data for each page of a library of unknown size, think libraries that have more than 30,000 books would not work for spotlight or even on device index. It would unfortunately crash at some point.

Coming soon, just working through the features that got ranked higher based on readers input for now.
