How do I get the button with the blue bars back?

Lily7 · 01-20-2014, 10:12 PM

There used to be a button to the right of the search bar with blue bars on it, that you could click to change it to one with a red line through them which made it only show the books that matched the search. I just installed calibre on a new computer and it's not there anymore - how do I get it back? Thanks!

Thanks to Lily7 for asking and eschwartz for answering.

That button was pure evil. Useless feature that tripped me up once and I needlessly rebuilt library and reinstalled calibre. I'm glad it's gone.

Unfortunately, one of the plugins (Find Duplicates), sometimes causes that option to be switched on.

I like it, I prefer to only see the books that match the search results rather than my entire library and having to scroll to find all the highlighted ones. Showing the entire library was the default setting in my case and it was driving me nuts. Thank you.
