Multiple same book on device: which search expression?

un_pogaz · 12-29-2018, 06:05 AM

I know that to find out if a book is present on my device it was ondevice:true, but what is the search expression for books present in several copies?

I also saw that the book could be, either in the main memory or in an auxiliary memory. So is there also a search expression for memory locations?

I use:

Code:

ondevice:"=Main (2 books)"

But I would guess

Code:

ondevice:"(2 books)"

might work (no location, not an exact match required )

So ondevice is a text field?
Hum, it's not the most practical or the most universal (the texts are regionalized and in my case it's in French), but I take note.

Thank

PS: I'd rather put ondevice:"books", it will work for all the multiple book and not just for 2.

The storage location is 'Text' (and as you pointed out, regionalized )
