Full-text search not really full-text
I'm trying to use full-text to search for every instance of a word. I don't want just the first available, but the next and next as well.
I was wanting to know if this is already an option and I'm missing it or if it would need to be added in an update. I think that would be a great feature request. |

The FTS stops after the first match in a book (Kovid mentioned it here); it's an intentional design choice I think.

Should have tested it before I posted. IMO that's a regression error, I've posted a bug at launchpad ==>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1991467. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 10-01-2022 at 07:34 PM. |

FTS will only find one instance per book. If you want to find all instances of a word ina book open the book in the viewer and search there.
