Is also possible to call the subsearches in the main search. Actually, you can do it with any search so long as you're careful not to recurse.

I do this for my Cleanup search:

Code:

(search:"=Cleanup.Fanfic Issues") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Formats") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup")

And then here's Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup:

Code:

(search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Cleanup Tags")
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Convert ISBNs")
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Kobo collection") 
OR search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Kobo Path"
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Language") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Page Count")

Advantages: it executes quite a bit faster than making them all one giant search, and it's a lot easier to narrow down a specific criteria.
