My library has a lot of non-fiction. When I bulk-download metadata, I don't always get the subtitle in the downloaded metadata. Is there a way for Calibre to always propose/choose the title with a subtitle?

My current workaround is tedious. I google the title. Sometimes the right-hand side as a preview section which includes the complete title (i.e., includes the subtitle). In this case, it's an easy double-click to select the compete title and then paste into the title field in the Edit Metadata dialog window.
But if Google doesn't come up with the "smart box" section, I have to go to goodreads or amazon and scroll. Lots of time wasted for many books.
