When I search my library (all collections) for Dante, I'm told nothing matches . . . Yes, I know it's not his last name, but it is what everyone knows him as . . . do I really have to search for Alighieri (which I'll never remember how to spell) . . . the 3 books are there . . .

And what if I want to know how many books I have by women named "Margaret" . . . shouldn't I be able to do that? (going off to try various searches now . . . after I edit my Dante books)

Or is there some special code I need to put in search to have it search for the text I type anywhere it might be?

Never mind . . . user error . . . a while back I was searching in tags . . . and didn't notice that it was still searching there . . . switched it back to all and it works . . . great relief.
