Search for series with a specific number of book
 
Hello,

Is there a way to search for all books in series that contain exactly n books?
With n=1, I have tried the following two syntaxes, but neither works.

series:#=1
series_index:#=1

I would appreciate a good indication on how to solve this small puzzle.

Thanks in advance! W.

I don't think this is possible with any of Calibre's default options; it can't cross-reference information from different books.

Might be possible with plugins though I don't know off-hand, sorry.

You could do a database query for books.series_index EQ n (that's a pseudo code)

The calibre-spy plugin can do Raw SQL queries, see Index of plugins

Here is the search that works.

Code:

series:true and series_index:<=1
