Saved Searches in toolbars & menus, including favourites
May we have saved searches on Favourites Menu? (please, please...)

Not quite, the Add, Get and Manage actions appear to be missing.
It seemed to me that Comfy's request that SS be accessible via this plugin would be best satisfied by making SS a regular toolbar/menu item. However, I don't use Saved Searches. For searches I want permanently I create VLs, and any short term needs are usually in search history. Pssst - any chance search history could be stored on a per library basis rather than globally In the interest of de-cluttering. If SS is made available as a toolbar/menu item perhaps there should be an option in Preferences->Searching to hide the button, ditto the VL button, ditto the FTS button. Which leaves us with Advanced Search, which I do use - so I would quite that to be available on toolbars and menus on a similar basis. BR |

An action to display a menu of saved searches (named Saved Searches) is now in calibre source. It can be added to the toolbar, the menu bar, or the book context menu, etc. It can be given a keyboard shortcut. Favourites sees it so it can be added to the Favourites menu. This is something I will use so I had the incentive to go this far. Last edited by chaley; 10-17-2022 at 06:25 PM. Reason: Added shortcut possiblity. |

I tested it. I very much like seeing hierarchical searches being subfoldered, considering that it's kind of a nonstandard use.

Built-in toolbar option. You'll need to run from source or wait for the next update.

I do think it might make sense to copy the three options from the search bar menu (add, manage, get expression) here. Maybe for slightly selfish reasons; personally I try to avoid the menu because the damned thing fills up a third of the screen (no exaggeration; see attached screenshot).
