bigbear77 · 11-21-2013, 08:13 AM

hi there,

im new to this forum and hope you can help me. im using calibre -obviously ;-)- to manage my library.

In the title coloumn i name the books: <series> <volume> - <name> (f.i. Twilight 2 - New Moon) for sorting purposes.

Many of my books dont have the right Metadata. When i now search for new metadata there can be none found because the books name is "New Moon" not "Twilight 2 - New Moon".

Is there any way i can tell the metadata search to just ignore the first part of the title or show anything with any of the words from the title and the right author?

Hope you get what i mean and thanks for any answers.

have a nice day.
Flo
