I've tested these searches and can't notice a difference in speed of results. Maybe my library isn't large enough for the difference to be significant yet. Which would be the fastest search for epub format in a very large library?

format:epub
formats:epub
#formats2:epub

Note: #formats2 is composite column with template {:'approximate_formats()'}

Do #1 and #2 look at the files in the book folders?

Is #3 faster because it doesn't, even though it's composite column?

Is format or formats indexed?

What's the difference between format and formats?
