Ask HN: How to search text across books in Mac

2 pointsakira_hn2 comments

I have a lot of books in a different format like pdf, mobi, and epub. I want to search across all of them or at least across all the books in the same format. Does anyone pulled this off somehow?

Seems the answer is no: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/44562/is-it-possib...

In Linux I convert to pdf in the command line and then use PDFgrep. Is awesome simple. Same as grew super fast.

On Mac it should be possible to get it trough homebrew...
