Well, there is a work-around on non-DRM books if you use Calibre.

Give your books a tag, such as "work" in Calibre. Then tell Calibre to convert (reconvert) the books to mobi format and to "Add metatags" to the book. For example: work, tag2, unread

You will end up with a line something like this (I don't remember the exact format): ttwork tttag2 ttunread

As a result a search for ttwork, or tttag2 or ttunread will find this book.

I had asked KovidGoyal to add the tt delimiter to each tag to make searching more accurate. The issue is that if you search for "work" you would find a lot of books that have the word work in them. Prepending the "tt" to a tag creates a unique 'word' that won't be confused with real words in the book.
