Title search in calibre

It is more like a wishlist item. When I search for a book in calibre, it does not work if there's punctuation next to the word. E.g. "Outliers: the story of success" If I look for outliers, it won't show up. It only works if I put "outliers:" with the colon in it. Guess it is time to fine tone the search in calibre =)

For me it was a case of fine tuning my search technique.

Try title:"Outliers" it works for me.

Although just using Outliers works for me too.
