Content Search EPUB

BetterRed · 09-04-2018, 01:01 AM

I've been longing for a Windows EPUB IFilter DLL for a while, I think I've found one. Actually it has been on my radar screen since November last year, I just never got around to installing it, and trying it - sort of forgot about it.

It's a modified version of the Sumatra PDF IFilter, see ==>> xplorer² blog: search filter for EPUB ebooks

Search seems to work well, I did some tests on 30,000+ epubs in Windows File Explorer, search times were sub 5 seconds, which is the same as searching the companion 30,000+ DOCX files. As expected I had to rebuild the indexes after installing the DLL.

I could only get the Plain Text Preview feature working in an old payware version of xplorer², maybe there's some way to get it working in File Explorer I'll ask the xplorer² developer. Not sure if it would It should work in xplorer² Lite which is free.

If I find anything new, I'll add a post here.

This looks very cool, thanks for sharing. Are you still using it? If so, how has it been since?

Works fine, I use it at least once a week, but it lacks is an explorer Preview display see ==> Epub Preview in Windows File Explorer

The MS Advanced Query Syntax is worth knowing.
