Coloring and icon rules would require a different solution, probably a tags-like composite column that aggregates the names from the columns included in the search term. Hmmm... I could make a template function that returns the values in the "virtual" column. This would be a gui-only function so it would not obviate the need for the composite column if the info is to be used in save-to-disk templates.

Which is why upgrading the original 'series' field would be the easiest solution. Well, depending on how difficult it would be to upgrade it in the first place, obviously.

That was just a shorthand for something like "as many fields as the number of series added to the book with the most series". I couldn't turn that phrase into something readable, so I just put max(series_*), except that now that I read it again, it's obvious I'm not using the right aggregate function. Ah well.
