Sorry your disappointed. Almost every major search engine *I've* tried has their own little cryptic ways of doing certain things.

I suspect that Kovid is limited by the Python libraries. What I did was dig through the help files area for "Searching", learned what I needed and moved on.

I also suspect that nothing much is going to change. You learn to live what you see as limitations or you go find something else that better meets your requirements. For me, calibre meets my needs.
