It was my discovery that shift or ctrl click on Tag Browser items did the same thing that led me to wonder whether they could be made to do different things, such 'this
or that' versus 'this
and that' . Users could be trained in what the modifier keys do in the same way that calibre trains us in what its keyboard short cuts do... by showing us in the (context) menu eg
Code:
Match any of the items (Ctrl/Click)
Match all of the items (Shift/Click)
However, in practice I do as
BookJunkieLI suggests, shift/ctrl click selections, and progressively adjust the
and's,
or's,
not's and
parentheses in the search bar. I suspect that's where most people end up.

Must have been a Lou Gerstner initiative, back in my IBM days the idea of Hursley agreeing anything with Raleigh agreeing anything with Poughkeepsie, let alone with the AS400 dudes would have been laughable. I noticed the other day that an IMS Fastpath app was clocked a 117,000 transactions/sec - and it was written in - wait for it - Java - scary stuff, what. I'm guessing it was a flash trading app.
