Calibre index

Doum · 12-09-2023, 10:18 AM

I saw during the library verification an option for compact the search DB.

Personnaly i have created my own calibre index with TnTsearch that work's very well

But i am wondering if it was possible tu use this calibre index search instead of mine which takes a lot of time .

I did'nt see any documentaion or APi to use it ?
only fts_index and fts_search but , i have tu use calibredb which does not exist on my NAS

When i add/delete/update books with calibre this index it's also updated ?

TNTsearch use an sqlite file for index, but where i can find the calibre files ?

Thank you

i have no idea what (1) means. If you want to run a search using the full text index, use the calibre APIs to do it. If you want to use the index outside of calibre, that's not a supported use case, and you are on your own.
