Hallo

I would like to ask for some help how to perform a search to configure a virtual library containing complete series - or - let's say series with at least number the first three books available.

If [series] is of datatype "list" I would say:
I'm looking for ALL series which have at least three values in the field [series] AND the [series_index] has "1" and "2" and "3"

EXAMPLE: Serie: Carl Morck, available are part 1-6 of the series ==> the series would be included

EXAMPLE: Serie: Carl Morck, available are part 1,2,4-6 of the series ==> the series would not be included

I thought I could do the trick by looking for all series with at least three values (for book title) AND with the values "1", "2" and "3" for [series_index]:
The search failed - and - I don't know how to change the syntaxes.

I startet with:
series:#>3 .... fails
series:true series_index:"1" .... all series with book01 from that series - not the complete series - only book01
series: true series_index:#1 .... strange result and search field has a red line around
series:=series_index:... ... all fails

QUESTION: can I use a syntax similar to the syntax for [identifiers]?
see manual: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gui.html#id23

Thanks for your help.
