Also want to point out the word-prefix mode of the tweak for completion settings - it's sort of a mix of prefix and contains, e.g. 'cat' will match 'cathedral' and 'tabby cat' but not 'education'.

Not sure what you mean? You just click the format link in the search results and the viewer will open to matching location, you dont have to manually enter the sentence.

@thiago.eec: I have seen the wrong word getting highlighted (its usually an off by one so fairly harmless so I havent bothered investigating). I havent seen non matching search results however.

And this should fix the incorrect word being highlighted issue:

When you click to open, it opens a search with the entire text that appears in the search preview. Then that shows up in the search history until cleared.

Ah your complaint is it gets stored in history. There you go: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...963b2875b4b44e

Released 9.5.101 with the fix for mishighlighted words in FTS results.

BetterRed · 03-20-2026, 11:38 PM

@kovidgoyal - Any intent to a) make FTS span multiple physical libraries; and b) index content of book data folders?

Thanks for the fix.

I rebuilt my index with the new version and everything seems fine now. The non matching result also disapeared. Maybe the index was somehow corrupted.

One question: why don't all the cards have the same height? I think it would look better with a constant height, so they are always aligned.

Because some books can have different context for the result in different formats. THe alternative would be to make each card scrollable, which is IMO worse.

This is a really nice refinement - thanks!

But even books books with only one format can have different heights. I noticed long titles can make this happen, but not only that. Some books just have more text in the box.

Yes, again, the alternative is scrollbars inside each card, or cutting off the context text.
