Bulk search and replace operations - question

[SFD1968]

I've been using Calibre for a while now, and I'm struggling to find an answer for one question I've got.

On a series of books, I run a few operations using the bulk search and replace to ensure that all books in a series are together and in order, so I have 5 saved searches (one to add the series index to the start of the title, the next to add the word Book to the start of the title, the next to add the series to the start of the title, the next to remove the decimal and subsequent zero from the index and replace them with a semicolon, and the last to remove the comma from the index added and replace it with a space).

My question is this: does anyone know of a way to chain the searches to run one after another automatically (or where the saved searches are stored, so that perhaps I can edit them to run one after another)?

The whole purpose of the Series column (with a series index set) is so you don't have to muck up the title and still sort by reading order

Using Save/Send Templates (or plugboard) to merge in series info for devices that don't use (custom) metadata.
