Calibre2OPDS Tags Catalog
When using downloaded metadata tags, they are often over-specific, yet still useful if you can browse the tags--but the Tags Catalog is divided by letter of the alphabet which prohibits browsing. I have found no setting that will just list the tags and page them. Since I don't know what tags have been assigned by someone else, I have no idea which letter I want to start with. I have been able to supress dividing All Books by alphabet, and preventing Authors from being divided by alphabet. But Tags seems to be a different beast. I would like to see pages of sequential alphabetized tags not broken up by alphabet letter, but having a navigational aid of the page number so one can browse, but also skip pages.

On a different issue, I have never gotten Search to do anything, does it actually do search? Thanks.

In the Tags browser, right click on the "Tags" entry and select "Change sub-categorization scheme" and then select "Disable". That will get rid of the single letter categories. But, I don't think you can do the other thing.

Search works fine here. If I type something in the search field and press enter, it finds what I search for. If you want some examples of how to search for something else, select one or more entries in the tag browser and have a look at what is put into the search field.

Davidfor: The OP was talking about a Calibre2Opds catalog, while you are describing Calibre behaviour.

If you are not a Calibre2Opds user I can understand the mistake, but just thought I should clear it up before things get even more confusing

Which browser are you using ? The search only works in chrome/safari.

Well you appeared to be talking about using the Calibre tag browser to disable the Calibre2Opds split-by-letter functionality (if you want to disable that you do it in the Calibre2Opds settings). That made me think you were talking about Calibre
