searching on more than 1 library at once

mareli · 09-13-2018, 08:44 AM

Hello, this is my first post. I'd like to know if there's a way to search between different libraries at once. I have several libraries and every time I get crazy because I need to open and search each library.
If already there's a thread about it, please let me know and I will delete this one.
thank you

Library Extension for Chrome (Firefox Coming)

Works for Print Books and Overdrive EBooks and Audiobooks. It may have some support for 3M but I haven't noticed this with my libraries.

I'm sorry, if I understand I have ad put an add-on on my browser? There is no setting on calibre for multiple libriaries search? Thank you for your help

Yes. It is not a Calibre Plugin. At the moment it works only as an extension to Chrome (or Chromium), though a Firefox version is promised. I am assuming that you mean actual libraries rather than Calibre libraries? If not, please ignore my above answer. As far as I'm aware Calibre can search only in the Calibre Library you have open.

I'm sorry I mean Calibre Libraries. Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you anyway

@mareli - I don't think there is such a thing in the general sense. The Find Duplicates (FD) and Multi-Column-Search(MCS) plugins have features for finding duplicates in in different libraries, FD can compare current library with ONE other library, not sure about MCS.

You'll find them in here ==>> Index of plugins

A future release of CalibreSpy https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=310103 will include this functionality. You will be able to see the search results (positive or negative) in each CalibreSpy window, each being a different Library, within a small number of seconds of initiating the search for duplicates in one of the CalibreSpy windows. CalibreSpy will need to be executed from command files (e.g .bat in Windows) for this to be possible.
