Mobile Content Server - search for or display series_index data?

[Starson17]

The content server nicely displays the series name and series_index. However, I have to run the mobile version of the content server (for new phone that won't run ajax - as needed for the non-mobile version of the content server), and there doesn't seem to be a display in the mobile server for either series or series_index.

Often, I want to get the next book in the series. Currently, I search for the series I'm reading using:
"series:name_of_series_I'm_reading".

This works, but I still can't see the series_index, and I can't figure out how to do a search like:
"series_index:2"
to find the second book in the series.

Is there any way to get the series_index field from the mobile server, either by display or by search? I realize I can order the results by "series" and that comes close to what I need, but sometimes I only have the first and third in a series and I need to know that so I can buy the second.

Thanks for any tips.

No, I'm afraid there isn't

Thanks for the reply. I can always put the series into the title, or work on the code myself.

I'll gladly accept a patch if you can come up with one. The relevant code is in library/server.py

Thanks for the pointer to the code area. That was surprisingly easy! A change to line 93 to add ${r[9] if r[9] else ''}-${r[10] if r[10] else ''} and it's working. Or at least well enough to make the wife happy. Perhaps I'll send you a patch after I've become a bit more comfortable in Python.

My first proposed patch -Ticket #4488. Improved the code and added useragent identification for the HTC HD2 phone.
