Can I turn on full text search for a Virtual Library?
TL;DR: If I go to a virtual library, then click the "FT" button, and turn on index, does my whole library get indexed, or only the virtual library get indexed?

The user manual says enable index for the current library, but didn't say if virtual library counts.

I have a huge library and I want to enable full text search on only ~10 books. If virtual library doesn't count, I'll need to create a dedicated library just for those books, then do the search there.

The entire library gets indexed. You can use 'restrict searched books' to limit it to just the currently-visible books.

Which works faster.

Though even full library search with about 7,000 titles and multiple formats isn't bad.

Currently if there is is epub, azw3, pdf etc all on same title it indexes and searches all. Perhaps in the future it might be possible that if there is multiple formats that it only indexes one in a default order.
