For instance. How do I use regex to search for AA Name? If I use [A-Z][A-Z] [A-Z]. which I expect to match to AA Name it matches "Orbit Various Authors" and "Various Author" as well as the expected "AA Name".
As two uppercase characters followed by a space, an uppercase character and then anything is how I translate the search string the results confuses me.
I guess I'm looking for a lot more info about how regex works inside calibre as compared to in say edit pad pro.

did you remember to precede your search term with the REGEX flag "~
