What theducks said. I suspect we've all had a new ebook where the embedded information from the publisher is something like Star Paths: A novel of space colonization by Herbert A Patrick and you find you already have a duplicate called Star Paths by Herbert A. Patrick after you clean up the metadata and run Find Duplicates. You could use the Find Duplicates plugin with options to find the book without cleaning up the metadata using it's various search options.
