Removing previous Find/Replace choices

[Rellwood]

I have in the book editor a lot of previous used choices for find/replace. Most of them are book specific and I would like to clean out that drop down menu. Is there a way of "picking and choosing" which items to keep? If not, is there a way to clear it completely?

While I'm here, is there a way of removing additional restrictions in the virtual library editor in the main gui?

There are a few restrictions that I would like to clear out, but I can't seem to be able to edit them. It seems that only virtual libraries can be edited but additional restrictions are left alone.

To delete the automatically saved search data in the editor, with the search dialogue active, just right-click in the find or replace field. One of your choices will be to clear the data.

This is stored in a file somewhere. I found it once, and you can edit it, but it is such a pain I never went back to doing that; much easier just to start over.

It seems you have to already save the search before removing it. I guess what I could do is go through the list of completions based on search history list, save which ones I want, then clear out the list in total.

Thanks!

Sweet! I keep forgetting about those little out of the way functions that are so useful but easy to forget they are there because of their location. I wonder how many overlooked or unknown Calibre settings and options I don't know are available because I never saw them ;-) I use the new releases "what's new" to find the new stuff.
