The Your test box is provided for you to enter text to check that search/replace is doing what you want. Title case – capitalize each word in the result. Upper case – change all the characters in the field to upper case Lower case – change all the characters in the field to lower case You can have calibre change the case of the result (information after the replace has happened) by choosing one of the functions from the Apply function after replace box. If you want the search to ignore upper/lowercase differences, uncheck the Case sensitive box. For example, if your tags contain Horror, Scary, the search expression r, will not match anything because the expression will first be applied to Horror and then to Scary. If the field you are searching on is a multiple field like tags, then each tag is treated separately. If you search for a to be replaced with HELLO, then the result will be HELLO bHELLOd cHELLOt. For example, assume the field being searched contains a bad cat. Each occurrence of the search characters in the field will be replaced. Character match will look in the Search field you choose for the characters you type in the search for box and replace those characters with what you type in the replace with box. For more on regular expressions, see All about using regular expressions in calibre.Īs noted above, there are two search and replace modes: character match and regular expression.

The Edit metadata for many books dialog allows you to perform arbitrarily powerful search and replace operations on the selected books. The normal edit metadata dialog also has Next and Previous buttons that you can use to edit the metadata of several books one after the other. This dialog is very powerful, for example, it has a Search and replace tab that you can use to perform bulk operations on metadata and even copy metadata from one column to another. This is particularly useful if you have just imported a number of books that have some metadata in common. Using this dialog, you can quickly set the author/publisher/rating/tags/series etc of a bunch of books to the same value. If you select more than one book, clicking the Edit metadata button will cause the Bulk metadata edit dialog to open.
