Now i want a way (via search or plugin) to display exactly the numbers of this missing books and the name of the series. Can anyone help with this task?

Background is: I have massimportet around 5000 entrys in my database and manualy retagged and corrected them in the last days. It was a horrible job. Now i found out, that some books in the series are missing, but i havent the time to check them all manualy.
@Bilbo_b
IMHO This post belongs in the Plug_in (section) request Thread

Neat PI idea
Should it work only on Integer items?
Or does it need 'smarts' to decide what to do if fractional series are encountered
ex: 3.5 is a short story that fits between 3 and 4, but is not a regular occurrence.
6.78 (my convention) is a Omnibus of the former: 6, 7, and 8

Then there is the series in a series that some use.. these are 2 different series (names) with their own index points.
