When you search using all_series:foo, calibre will look for foo in all three of the series columns.
That sounds like it might be exactly what I'm looking for!

Next question: can I persuade the catalogue tool to use this all_series pseudo-column instead of the regular series column, so that the same book will appear twice (once for each series it belongs to) in the various series listings that it generates? (There's a list of series under each author, and also a separate stand-alone alphabetical list of series.)
