Calibre Companion - Searching for Dummies

VelvetElvis · 11-22-2013, 06:19 PM

Having trouble understanding searching. More specifically, how do I search on a partial title?

For example, I have a book title "The Wrecking Crew: The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Best-Kept Secret". Searching on "wrecking" returns nothing.

I'm sure it's a n00b error, but can someone set me straight? I perused the FAQ in the forum here, but it didn't provide an answer. Thanks.

Update
D'oh. Turns out it was a PEBKAC error caused by an utter lack of understanding on how the wireless connection differs from a content server connection.

Glad you found an answer.

Is there something we should add to the FAQ that could/would have helped you?

Nothing that comes to mind. Like anything, it takes a bit of experimenting to become proficient. I'll let you know though.

Great app, btw. I play around with multiple readers, and not having to muck about with each app's method of loading and cataloging books is a huge help. With Calibre Companion, I can easily and quickly view the same book in several different readers.
