Good afternoon. I'm running Calibre 0.8.61 on Windows 7, 64-bit version.

For series books, I often prepend the title with the series name, e.g., "Dark Tower 01 - The Drawing of the Three" or "Dune 02 - Dune Messiah". When I execute a search to download cover art and meta data for books with this naming convention, I get an error that advises me to make my search less specific. I know that I can temporarily remove the prepend, leaving only "The Drawing of the Three" or "Dune Messiah", and I don't have any problem downloading metadata. But is there a way that I can manually make the metadata search terms less specific, as recommended in the error message?

thank you.
