FIND SIMILAR BOOKS (in series) >UNHANDLED EXCEPTION, ATTRIBUTE ERROR

[str8arrow]

When attempting to search for /find similar books in a series I get the following error:

"Attribute error": FormatsList object has no attribute "replace"

Using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
and Calibre 2.77.0 (64-bit) - also occurs on Calibre 2.55.0, etc.

Would appreciate help! Really frustrating.
thanks

You have likely changed what field find similar books searches in
Preferences->Searching to something other than series, change it back
and you will be fine.

Once again,

You have likely changed what field find similar books searches in
Preferences->Searching to something other than series, change it back
and you will be fine.

Hi Kovid - My apologies - as you predicted, it is fixed.
I didn't think to check the section or change it because I had never opened it! I am truly sorry - had I modified it, I would have though to change it back, but I never even opened the Searching section. I am embarrassed to have been stumped by something so simple...truly sorry.
Thank you again.
