Hi Everyone I have a huge problem

Ok so I have found calibre

all my ebook file names are their ISBN's when I click add metadata it doesn't search by the ISBN but by the title of the book which means that the search is unsucessful.

how exactly do i get it to search by the ISBN for the purposes of a bulk metadata update

my file convention is 9781*********.pdf no spaces or hyphens

I read something about a regex but dont get it at all
