Hi Kovid,

I tried your method and the advanced search did save correctly as a saved search. And that saved search did show up correctly in the web interface, which is awesome.

I was confused because when I read earlier in the thread that virtual libraries are essentially just "saved searches", I went looking for them and I think that's what messed me up. I tried to re-add them or something. Sorry about that.

I understand how to create saved searches from this point on, for new libraries but just to confirm, if you have virtual libraries that already exist, in order for them to show in the server interface:

you need to then go "edit" the VL, copy/paste the search expression into the search bar of calibre and then "save" that as your saved search? That's what I just did now, and it worked, it was just very confusing to get here lol.

Is there some way to automatically translate/transfer virtual libraries = saved searches without this manual method? That would also clean up the web server interface too, i.e. "Music Books", "Manuals", etc. vs. search expressions maybe?

Either way, I'm happy I got saved searches working!!

Thanks!
