A search with authors:#>1 works perfect, thank you.

At the moment it looks like keeping authors separated by ";" would be a better way since it's no problem to find the ; .


But - isn't it set somewhere in preferences which special character functions as "and"?

A little bit OT but not worth a new thread:
How to ask Calibre to display only entries with something missing?
Like the "authors without commas" option in quality check - what would be the expression for this?
I want to combine it with date (e.g. date:today).
