📚 Calibre Search

📖 How to use Calibre Search

Browse and search your Calibre library right in the browser — nothing is uploaded, everything runs locally.

1. 1Load your library. Click Load .db file and pick the metadata.db file from your Calibre library folder.
2. 2Search. Type in the search box to filter by title, author, publisher, tags or series. Use the × in the box to clear it.
3. 3Pick a mode. SQL matches text exactly (substrings); Fuzzy is forgiving of typos and partial words.
4. 4Choose columns. Open Columns to decide which fields show in the table and which are searched — including any custom columns from your library.
5. 5Sort & locate. Click a column header to sort. Click a format under Location to see the file's path inside your library folder.

💡 The results table scrolls horizontally — drag or shift-scroll to reach columns off the right edge. On narrow screens, results become tap-to-expand cards.
