Most of my ebooks have IDs (typically ISBNs, but also it will say Goodreads, Amazon, Gutenberg, etc). I want to search by ID but I've not been able to do so. Setting up custom columns was a total failure, and repeated searches merely said something about "UUID" or how to modify the database (I definitely do not have the skills to do that without destroying my library).

Why do I bother? Some of my Gutenberg books have issues with covers. I just want to be able to sort them and fix the covers. Whenever I find one of my books is a Gutenberg book, I just add "Gutenberg" to the tags (which I can easily do a search of).
