Search for series with a specific number of book
Hello,
Is there a way to search for all books in series that contain exactly n books? With n=1, I have tried the following two syntaxes, but neither works. series:#=1 series_index:#=1 I would appreciate a good indication on how to solve this small puzzle. Thanks in advance! W. |

I don't think this is possible with any of Calibre's default options; it can't cross-reference information from different books.
Might be possible with plugins though I don't know off-hand, sorry. |

You could do a database query for books.series_index EQ n (that's a pseudo code)
The calibre-spy plugin can do Raw SQL queries, see Index of plugins BR |

Here is the search that works.
Code:
series:true and series_index:<=1 |
