Searching multiple pdfs in library

Hi there,

I love Calibre since 2011, but repeatedly run into the same problem:

With hundreds of academic papers in calibre, I often need to search several pdfs and other files (epub etc.) for specific terms. So far I am doing this with Foxit, but this often takes forever and only considers pdfs, also because Foxit does not index files stored in a specific folder.

For calibre, this would be easy to do: Index all ebooks and files in the library once, and then just search the index. Perhaps this is available already as a plugin, if so, please let me know. If not, I think this would be a great productivity tool!

All best,
F
