About:
epubmdimporter is a Spotlight metadata importer plugin that enables macOS to index and search the contents of EPUB e-books. By integrating with the system's mdimporter framework, it allows users to find specific text passages or metadata directly from the Finder or Spotlight search. This tool significantly enhances the discoverability of large e-book libraries without requiring dedicated e-book management software.

Key Features:

Seamless integration with macOS Spotlight for instant content indexing
Enables full-text search within EPUB files across the entire system
Displays detailed metadata including author, publisher, and ISBN in Finder
Lightweight and unobtrusive, running silently in the background

Use Cases:

Academic researchers needing to quickly search through large collections of EPUB textbooks and papers
E-book collectors wanting to locate specific passages or quotes across their entire library
Writers performing reference checks across multiple EPUB source materials

Alternatives:

Calibre – Full-featured e-book manager with content search, but much heavier and requires dedicated app
OpenMeta – System-wide tagging solution, but doesn't provide native EPUB content indexing
