Search For Series

anmatr · 06-28-2025, 06:22 AM

Hello,
Hope this is not already answered - I've did some research but could not find any post.
How can I search in Calibre for series in a precise way so that only one series is found. Say I want to find any series with name "rm", and I have other series in the library with "Arm", "Harm" or "Firm". Currently I get books from all 4 series. But only want to see books from series "rm".

I've tried this:
series:rm
series:"rm"

But both result in books from all 4 series.

Thanks for any help on this.

See The Search Interface in the calibre manual, in particular "‘Equality’ searches".

You can also use the Tag browser to generate this kind of search.

Thank you for your reply
I found out that I can actually use regexp: series:"~^rm$"
