In throwing my various ebook folders into calibre, I've ended up with multiple copies of some books, in different formats, and others I ended up with books named differently but otherwise exact copies of the files.

I ran a de-dup app to remove the exact duplicate files, and now I have a bunch of entries in calibre that have all the metadata, but no actual file associated with them. Is there a "Format:" search that I could use to find books without any formats at all? Or some other way to search for metadata not bound to a book?
