Seaching for @ character/Overdrive Ebooks
I am trying to create a search criteria and a virtual library that will show all books which are tagged as Overdrive Ebooks and in particular I do not want to include AudioBooks.

An audiobook will have an identifier like odid:123456#freelibrary.overdrive.com

whereas an ebook will have an identifier like odid:123457@freelibrary.overdrive.com

But if I set my search criteria to identifiers:"=odid:@freelibrary.overdrive.com" it will still return the audiobook even though it does not contain the @ character.

How do I do this?

Yes and yes.

But re-reading the manual I think I have it sorted. I had previously tried identifiers:~odid:@freelibrary.overdrive.com
but the ~ was in the wrong place and either
identifiers:=odid:~@freelibrary.overdrive.com or
identifiers:=odid:~[0-9]+@freelibrary.overdrive.com works.
