I had asked question 1 earlier and did not open a ticket because I figured out another way to do what I wanted, but doubt it would do what you want

I have submitted code to Kovid to handle searching on custom field series indices. If you have a custom field '#myseries', then you can search for '#myseries_index'. You can use all the numeric relational expressions.

@starson17: Kovid has merged the series index code into the trunk version. If you get a chance, could you see if it works for you as expected? Thanks!

I can find the books that won a certain award in a certain year, or all the books that won that award in any year, etc. I still have some tests I'd like to do to verify that it works via the content server, but they'll have to wait until I update the source for the machine that acts as my content server. |

At last I'm at the stage where I'm actually trying to label books in ways that let me find what I want. Genre tags are what I mostly use, but recently I decided to identify books that have won an award or been nominated for one ("Hugo Nominated" and "Hugo" in #award, etc.). Quote:
![]() 1) Currently I pick the award I like best, put the other into comments and tags. All awards are also in the tags. 2) I may decide I need an #award2 and an #award3 column for overlaps. It would complexify searching, however. 3) I've considered a separate date-type column for each award, rather than my current system. I've only added a few awards, and they haven't overlapped. I have overlapped some nominations in one year, with a win for the award the next year - I just use the actual year it wins. As an aside, your custom columns are incredibly useful, even where I also have the data in tags. |
