Unifying Libraries and Searching Within Multiple Titles

ensta · 08-08-2022, 07:52 AM

Hi,

Want to see if there's a way to do keyword searches of the contents of multiple ebooks?
Have a few library engines/collections on the go Kindle Desktop/Cloud, Book Fusion and Calibre.
Be good to know if this can be at all, and if so, which option is available.
If it's a goer, would like to bring all titles to the one library.

Any tips gratefully received.

Cheers,
N*

The newest versions of Calibre (versions 6.xx) have the option to search the content of multiple ebooks. Personally I keep all my ebooks in Calibre, no matter where purchased.

Or export everything to text files and use Notepad++ to search all the files.
