Quick Search
Although theLibrarian allows you to perform complex searches by combining more search terms using boolean operators, nevertheless, most of times, you will not need to find books with such level of accuracy but, rather, you will prefer
to filter your library in a less accurate but faster way
Filter by word(s): type what you want to find into the search field and then press return. The result will be displayed into the shelf part of the window
By default, the search will not include the synopses; to include them hold down the Option key (Control in Windows and Unix OS’s) while pressing the return key
Filter by Rating: specify the matching criteria by typing in one of the relational operators allowed (<,>,<=,>=,=) followed by the rating value (a number between 1 and 5) and press return.
If you omit the relational operator the default one (=) will be used
For example, to search for books rated 4 or more type >=4
and press return
Filter by Publication Date: specify the matching criteria by typing in one of the relational operators allowed (<,>,<=,>=,=) followed by the date in the
form YYYY
(mandatory)-MM
(optional)-DD
(optional). As for rating, omitting the relational operator will cause the default one (=) to be used
For example, to search for books published after June 2015 type >2015-06
and press return
Reset: press the reset button to cancel the results of the last search and display the entire content of your library
The organizer bar provides you with another way to quickly filter your books using pre-defined criteria.
Every time you select an entry from the organizer, the contents of the search field will be cleared.
