Code:
authors:"John Smith"
Or, for boolean searches:
Code:
formats:True
Then chain appropriate search terms together with 'and' or 'or', and you're done
Yes. I've been trying to train myself out of relying on the tag browser. So I'd been trying different searches and becoming a little more comfortable with using the search box, even advanced searches. But now I have to wait till I gather some books to search on.
