How to create virtual library to match the top most level category.

hlhp · 03-21-2021, 01:13 AM

for example, category fields like

Fiction
Fiction.Horror

How can I create a search to match both of them?

#field:"=Fiction" << this will only match the first one.

This matches all items that have fiction as the top level:

Code:

#field:"=.Fiction"

Note that the above will not match a tag like foo.Fiction where fiction is not the top level. If you want to match fiction even if it is not the top level use this:

Code:

#field:"Fiction"

Also note that matching in calibre search is case-insensitive.
