Search in Calibre

Suggestion: One thing that I am missing viewing epubs is context search. Simplest requirement is this: search for word1, in results search for word2 in window not greater than say 10 words.

Ex: I search for amnesia, and get 50 entries. I want to find one which is close to the word "future". To words rather close to each other is all I remember.

As far as I know there is no viewer that will let me do this kind of search, and I need it quite often.

Regards, Wlodek

Search in regex mode, like this:

future.{0,500}amnesia
