Hello,
entering a word in the search box will search for that word in several columns like authors, tags, series_name.
I have created my own column PseudonymOf, where I store the real name of the Author in case the name in the authors column is not the real name of the author. I also have added a series2 column in case a book belongs to two different series.
Entering a word in the search box will not show results if the word is in the custom columns.
How can I tweak calibre, so that these custom clumns are automatically included in the search?
Thank you for your help
