Searching Calibre from web-interface

richorlin · 06-21-2021, 01:31 PM

I am using the current version, 5.21, and when I search for a book using the web interface, the book comes up but so do several other unrelated books. Sometimes more than twenty other books are displayed. I am using the default search prefs. Searching from the server/app itself there is no issue; only one search result is displayed. What am I doing wrong?

edit: I just did a search for a specific book and it showed at the top of a list of over 40 other non-related books.

Rememebr that a search searches all metadata by default. If you want to search only titles, prefix with title: for example.
