In 2021 the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) awarded the Brooklyn College Library’s Archives and Special Collections unit a grant to digitize and share with the public unused footage from the creation of the 1997 landmark documentary A Life Apart: Hasidism in America, which was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Is there a searchable electronic database with a good selection of Hasidic books?
I often use the Bar-Ilan Responsa collection but its Hasidic content is limited. I recently was told about Ma'agarim; it is an amazing resource but also seems to have very little Hasidic material. Otzar HaHochma has a lot of Hasidic books but doing a search for specific words or phrases seems cumbersome. My thanks for any suggestions!

In his 1976 edition of Sefer Sipure kedoshim, an anthology of Hasidic tales, Gedalyah Nigal discussed several variants of the tale "Toldot Ephraim," a hagiography of the Kli Yakar (Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz) that was published in Sipure kedoshim in 1866. One of these, a Yiddish-language version, was apparently published as "Ma'aseh Nora" in Chernovitz around 1862 (תרכ״ג per Nigal). I have not been able to locate this version. If anyone has any leads, I'd be grateful.
