Hello,
I have a collection of comics which filenames I finally managed to tailor so the import in Calibre would identify series, album name, series index, that sort of stuff.
The point was that, after importing I could more easiyl download metadata ...
But the metadata finder and cover finder find nothing ...
While a simple google search finds all the covers I need, I don't understand.
Is there a way to set up the tool to use what information because so far it seems it only searches for the name.
Example (don't try this at home, the name aren't accurate as I 'm not home and I can't remember the tests I did, but still, the example explains the situation)

Series : Aldebaran
Index : 1.0
Name : The Beast
Author : (blank)

get the cover --> "searching cover for "the beast" " --> no result
I do my own google search with "Aldebaran The beast" and I get dozens fo results.
How come ?
Thanks for the input.
Cheers
