Question Hello I guess

Apparently I am forced to say "hello" before I'm even permitted to ask whether & where there's a reference list of all the standard fields and attributes that can be addressed in Calibre through the search interface and the bulk search & replace functions.

Examples of what I mean:
  • Some very common fields are title, author, pubdate, series, format, comments
  • Some of those allow you to address specific attributes, such as identifiers:=isbn and format:epub and cover:false

A few specific things I have wanted to do but never been able to find in the documentation or in the forums:
  • Search according to cover image size — like, do a search which includes all books with a cover image in which the height & width are both smaller than 1200 px
  • Search for books where the pubdate.day (however that is addressed) is the 14th day of any month or year

So is there a good reference list of standard fields and attributes somewhere? I have never been able to find such a list, though it seems like such an obvious and essential thing to have in the documentation.
