Minor issue on searches
Kovid, I LOVE Calibre, and this is not a complaint. But I loaded a lot of books onto my kindle after I got the update. I tried to load all Romance, except Historical and Paranormal. But no matter what I put in the dialog box (I put both Historical and Romance-Historical), a lot of the eliminated tags were appearing in the search. I just typed in the tags I wanted to eliminate - should I be clicking on them somewhere? I know it wasn't because of misspellings (I corrected all those).
Just might be a slight bug in the Advanced Search. Thanks, Debra |

if your tags are Romance, Historical and Paranormal Try this: tags:"=Romance" not tags:"=Historical" not tags:"=Paranormal" Post your tags if that didn't work. My searches seem to work correctly. |

I used the advanced search, it was romance not historical not romance-historical not paranormal not romance-paranormal.

This might give you odd results, as you haven't limited it to searching tags. Try my search or theducks method. If they don't work, you need to tell us exactly what tags you use, if they aren't as above.
