Greetings,

for what it's worth, I've just added another feature to Catalog: It's now possible perform searches.
Hitting the Find button will show another input field. All the books in the catalog are checked against the input and only those which fulfil the search criteria will be shown.
  • The syntax is
    key_1: value_1 (&|) key_2: value_2 ...
    where key_i is the key which is tested against value_i.
  • Key and value are seperated by a colon (:).
  • Key-value pairs can be concatenated by boolean AND (&) or by boolean OR (|).
  • the keys are the fields that represent a book's properties, i.e.
    • Author,
    • Title,
    • Genre,
    • Series,
    • File or
    • Image.
    or their language dependant representations.
  • it's not possible use parenthesis to group conditions. The conditions are evaluated strictly from left to right.

Example:
author: Nietsche | author: Platon
will display all those books which have author Nietsche or Platon.
author: Doyle & genre: Adventure
will display all those works of author Doyle (Arthur Conan) that have been categorized as Adventure. E.g. "The Lost World" could match (as opposed to the Holmes stories which would be Crime, wouldn't they?).

If you have any comments, complaints, ... please let me know.

Regards,
Tommy
