Please help with Search
Dear friends,
I must be missing something really obvious :-( I find Calibre's Search syntax to be very powerful but what I'd expect is one of the following: a) Jump to the first match and then have a "Find next" key to look for other occurrences or b) Show only the books matching the query Instead what happens is that I have to manually scroll down the list of the books and visually spot the records that are highlited (sometimes missing them). Am I using Calibre in the wrong way ? Thank you very much |

See the sticky thread Search is showing all books with some highlighted! How do I fix this?

Preferences: Look and feel:Searching (tab): remove the tick from highlight results F3 is the way to jump to next result (same as in a Windows Find) if in Highlight mode |

Thanks soooo much to both of you, and yes it was the "Search dupplicates" that must have triggered this !
Ciao ! |
