'Search template' in text columns
Editing columns, noticed 'search template.' Couldn't get tooltip to appear. What is this for? Example?

Tool tip has:

Quote:
Fill in this box if you want clicking on the value in book details to do a web search instead of searching your calibre library. The book's metadata is available to the template.

Additional fields 'item_value', 'item_value_quoted', and 'item_value_no_plus' are also available to the template. For multiple-valued (tags-like) columns they are the value being examined, telling you which value to use to generate the link. The two values 'item_value_quoted' and Item_value_no_plus' are automatically escaped for use in URLs. In 'item_value_quoted', spaces are replaced by plus signs. In 'item_value_no_plus' spaces are replaced by '%20'.

The template functions 'make_url()' (the easiest to use), 'make_url_extended()% 'query_string()% and 'quote_for_urlO' are useful for constructing the desired URL. There are examples in the template function documentation.
Sometimes they just don't want to pop
