@speakingtohe: For series, using first-letter partitioning and searching on a letter does indeed not work correctly when using library order and when a series begins with an article.

Recapitulating what you are saying and what I see does not work: consider a series "The Lost" (I made it up). It sorts under 'L', and is seen when 'L' is expanded. Now click on the book next to 'L'. You get the search series:"~^[L]", or any series beginning with 'L'. Clearly "The Lost" begins with 'T', so it isn't found. It *will* be found when you click on 'T', even though it is not in that list.

Said another way, the problem arises because there is no column "series_sort" to search against.

I confess -- I am not at all sure how to fix this. I think I will need to do something with the articles pattern, to ignore the A/An etc in front of the search letter, but this is made very complicated by the multi-language options for that pattern. Needs thought...
