Unless one has good metadata and one has bad metadata
I understand the issue. He has the same problem with using:
Code:
(formats:pdf and not formats:epub) or (formats:epub and not formats:pdf)
Two books with only a pdf format and no others will both show up and can't be merged without closer inspection. I was just commenting on the form of his search, which would get pretty long if he starts adding more formats. I wasn't sure if he was familiar with the "#" search for is_multiple fields which can be useful for searches like that.
I wasn't suggesting a solution, as there currently isn't one AFAIK. To find books that don't have overlapping formats, you have to use a search that simultaneously knows about the formats in multiple book records (select "A" if this is true of "B"), but the search system only looks at one book record ("A") at a time.
