Advanced search in PG catalogue

How can I perform complex searches on PG catalogue? For example, I would like to search for file formats, notably TEI and RST files, for the purpose of finding examples. The only reasonable way that I found is to search the posted notes. Carlo

On PG's home page: Page down to the Online Book Catalog section, click Advanced Search (http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/search). The page's Filetype field contains a list of file formats, including TEI and RST (both near the end of the list). TEI returns 294 titles. BUG - RST reports 41 books found, but doesn't list them. Al

Hmmm...... I see a few items. Idon't know why, but it does add confusion. rst.gen gives 1 result. rst gives 40 matches. rst.master gives me 1 result. Does that mean Marcello has seen this message and is in the middle of tweaking how it works? --Andrew

That'd be my guess. I got nothing for "rst" last night and one for "rst.master", which looks like a test file. I hadn't noticed the "rst.gen" search item. Its book (Burning Sands) also appears for "rst". Al
