Author selection

NewsRe · 03-22-2017, 12:19 PM

Time ago, selecting a specific author on the left column, I used to get all (and only) the books of that author on the right. Today when I click on an author I still view the whole list of the phisical library and the selection goes to the first occurence of the selected author.

I honestly don't know if I did someting in the configuration which changed the Calibre behaviour, but I'd like to return to the previous one.

I know that creating a virtual library by Author, I can get the wanted result, but the previous method was much faster and effective.
Any suggestion/help?

Thanks

Been a while since this kind of action popped up.

At the end of the search bar there (might) be an Icon with 3 blue bars. Click it so they now have a red slash

If that icon is not present: Preferences: Searching:
Un-tick Highlight search results
optional (puts the button on the bar): Tick Show Quick Toggle

Maybe because they bothered to look for a sticky ==>> Some plugins, can change calibre's search highlighting

Thank you so much. Your hint fixed my problem.
