Yes, but that book has the series you are interested in so clearing the search box shows the rest of the books.

That's interesting. I just tried this and it reset the book list to the entire list of books. Which is what I would have expected (and what seems to me to be correct behavior).

I cannot for the life of me make clearing a search reset the grouping drawer so that all books are shown. Assume you search on a title then tap that book's series in book details. The grouping drawer shows one series, the one for the searched-for title. The book list still shows the one book. If I now clear the search results without tapping in the groups list then the contents of the drawer changes to show all the series in your library but the series previously selected is still selected. The book list changes to show all the books in the originally selected series. This seems to be exactly what you are asking for.

Are you really seeing something else?

Ahh, this works, I hadn't thought of this. It is more cumbersome, and it will result in me tapping on the series the first time, and then remembering I have to back out and do a new search.

Why do you have to back out and do a new search? You might want to clear the search, but if so you could have done that instead of the long-tap. You might want to change the search, but then you are actively using the search box.

I would like to refine my request. If it isn't too much effort, would you consider adding an option called "Filter Auto-Reset" with a yes/no/ask. The way it would work would be if I tapped on a details link while a filter was active, before jumping to the new list, it would automatically clear the filter if I had selected yes, behave like it does now for no, and perhaps ask if the filter should be reset with ask.

I am only including the ask for completeness, I would personally set it to yes, so if the "ask" makes it a lot more effort, feel free to skip it.

THoughts?

I will think about this. On the face of it, it seems reasonable but the devil is in the details.
