[GUI Plugin] Quality Check

[JimmXinu]

It doesn't say anywhere obvious, but the Quality Check search uses a Regular Expression aka regexp.

While a powerful matching tool, regexp has some limitations. Not all boolean logic forms easily map to regular expressions.

To get (test1|test2) and (test3|test4), you'd need to also match everything in between. And in both directions.

Something like this maybe:

(((test1|test2).*(test3|test4))|((test3|test4).*(test1|test2)))

Honestly, you might be better served by doing one search, to reduce the search set, then run the second.

I assume you are also aware of Calibre's built-in full text search feature?

Thanks JimmXinu!!

I feel better now, I thought that I had tried all of the "and" variants and nothing worked. I have been running the two "or" statements one after the other, so I will continue that method.

I had read that indexing a database takes a long time so that is why I haven't done it. Guess I should really try it before discounting it.

Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!!!!

Thank you so much for this addition!

I often use this plugin for more detailed FTS, like searching for words after/before some punctuation marks, case-sensitive queries to match the beginning of a sentence and so on:




By the way I recently started customising the CSS in the results log, that's why the screenshots above don't match the original colors in dark mode!

and this is me finding what books contain vitamins

(just to give an example of the number of matches use, I hope)

I have a large # of ebooks that I am trying to find all of the covers that obviously have bad aspect ratio's. When I use the feature "check dimensions" and enter 500w x 250h (example) with "less than" condition, the algorithm returns all covers less than 500w, but ignores the 250h and returns ALL covers less than 500w only.
