KT - Keyword search

swamp thing · 11-22-2013, 09:33 PM

In the search feature it says you can search by "title, author or keyword".

I have converted a lot of HTMLs into ePubs and side-loaded them into my KT.

How can I add keywords that will be picked up by the search feature? I don't mind having to modify the sqlite database if that's what it takes, but something simpler would be nice of course.

Thanks!

I think the only places it searches are the title, subtitle, author, and series.

I think that even Kobo's database is making use of the ebook format's "Metadata", Calibre has a Metadata editor and others are probably available online.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll try calibre (which i haven't downloaded yet) and adding something to the 'series' field.
