First question was discussed and was too complex I believe. Some people put in a fake record for books they want to buy. Works well and you could find them all by typing formats:false in the searchbar.
The little drop down arrow at the end of the searchbar will show you your last searches.
Accessing the library in two different places can cause corruption. I use the content server if I want to check author names or series names.
If you start the content server (don arrow beside connect/share) the click that arrow again it will show you the address. type address followed by :8080 - or -
http://localhost:8080/ in the url bar in your browser and you can access it on the same computer. Very fast and easy.
