That's a good point. I've been conducting some experiments. Almost always, a "contains" search of combination (Comments, Series, Title) for keyword (such as magic, vampire, or etc) produces more results than a search of #genres for secondary genre (such as magic, vampire, or etc). So I'm wondering what good my secondary genres do me at all. Edit: Particularly since usually I originally determined the secondary genres by looking for those keywords in Comments, Series, or Title in the first place.

Edit: Now I remember: I track secondary genres because keyword search results can't be listed in a catalog, keywords in Comments can't be searched quickly in calibre large library and can't be included in a simple way (not needing constant maintenance) in a metadata plugboard.
