Then use the search mechanism in your file manager/OS. If your library is too large, use calibre itself. Alternatively, use a script to symlink all the ebook files into a central directory.

Windows/msys2:

`c:\msys2\usr\bin\find -type f -name ".epub" -printf 'mklink "%p" "c:\library\%P"\n' > links.bat && links.bat`

Linux/mac/etc:

`find -type f -name ".epub" -exec cp -s -t /home/me/library '%p' +` (find might be able to do symlinks on its own, not sure)
