Searching for books

There are several ways to search for books in the library.

On top of every page, you can find a search bar. You can search for books by title, author, series, or tags. The search is case-insensitive and will return all books that match the search query.

This is mostly useful when you know what you are looking for and want to find it quickly.

Filtering

In the search bar, you can click on advanced filters, which will allow you to write a typesense filter query. The documentation for filtering typesense queries can be found here: https://typesense.org/docs/27.1/api/search.html#filter-parameters

If AI features are enabled, you can also write a natural language query and ask AI to convert it to filters by clicking the magic wand button:
