@Joanna:
Answers to your two asked-questions, plus one that you did not ask but need to know the answer to if you want to use MCS.

- is it possible to perform an inter-book search in one column only? E.g. compare only #original_title (without comparing authors at the same time) or only authors (which would basically render a list of all books that have a non-unique original title/author).

Of course. Attached is the result. The filename is its purpose.

- is it possible to perform an inter-book search, comparing two different columns to each other? E.g. compare #original_title to title.
(For the latter, I suppose I could use a workaround, creating a custom column that would feature the title if no original title has been entered, and searching in this column - but a direct search would be much more convenient)

Unasked but Need-to-Know:
- is it possible to perform an INTRA-book search, comparing two different columns to each other? E.g. compare #original_title to title.

Of course. Attached is the result. "Intra-book" means that you compare different columns of the same book only, paying no attention to any other books in your library. The Intra-Book Search version of your 2nd question would be the third attachment below. The filename is its purpose.

The only way to learn to use MCS is to actually use it in a trial-and-error mode with help from the ToolTips and the examples attached to the Original Post.
Start with Intra-Book Searches, since they are (by far) the more intuitive as compared to Inter-Book Searches.
