Of course, a subfield. What is a subfield?

Yes, thanks, and simpler than mine. Is there an actual syntax somewhere for the search box, where syntax like that might be discussed or exampled?

https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gui...arch-interface does not have anything about subfields, and the passing mention of the equals sign is incomplete and possibly inconsistent.

https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/regexp.html has a huge explanation of how regexes work -- and nothing at all about how to use them in the search bar, which is substantially different from the S&R usage.

Thanks.
