Problem: Book Inventory Management

You are tasked with developing a program to manage a bookstore's inventory using dictionaries and lists. The program should allow the user to perform the following operations:

1. Add a book: The user should be able to enter the details of a book (title, author, genre, and quantity) and add it to the inventory.
2. Search for a book: Given a book title, the program should search the inventory and display the details of the book if it exists, including the quantity available.
3. Update book quantity: The user should be able to update the quantity of a book in the inventory. If the book does not exist, an appropriate message should be displayed.
4. Remove a book: The user should be able to remove a book from the inventory. If the book does not exist, an appropriate message should be displayed.
5. Display all books: The program should display a list of all books in the inventory, along with their details.
6. Optional You can expand this problem by incorporating additional functionalities like sorting the books, handling multiple genres, or implementing advanced search options.


Implement the program using appropriate data structures such as dictionaries and lists to store the book information. Use functions to modularize the code and allow for easier maintenance.
