Full Text Search in Calibre Server

velocet · 12-26-2022, 06:21 AM

I am delighted that the latest version of Calibre Server now also supports the full text search feature.

Two small improvements would be highly welcome:

First, the full text search pages seem to miss the usual header with a close icon to navigate back to the library's main page:

Of course, it's possible to use the browser's back button, but a dedicated header seems more in line with the rest of the UI.

Second, right now only the book's thumbnail is displayed. Would it be possible to add a text field with the books title as well? Sometimes, the thumbnail might not be distinctive.

Cheers,
Achim

The header bar not being visible was a bug fixed for the next re,ease. I'm afraid I am not going to add the title/author. It takes up space for everyone, most of whom do not suffer the problem of indistinct covers. And the full title and author is available as a tooltip.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

Glad to learn that the missing header bar is an already fixed issue. I guess I can live without a title; admittedly I did not have the mobile device use-case in mind with its more stringent space limitations.

Cheers,
