   An author is separated from its link value by the ``val_separator`` string with no added spaces. ``author:linkvalue`` pairs are separated by the ``pair_separator`` string argument with no added spaces. It is up to you to choose separator strings that do not occur in author names or links. An author is included even if the author link is empty.
 * ``author_sorts(val_separator)`` -- returns a string containing a list of author's sort values for the authors of the book. The sort is the one in the author metadata information (different from the author_sort in books). The returned list has the form ``author sort 1`` ``val_separator`` ``author sort 2`` etc. with no added spaces. The author sort values in this list are in the same order as the authors of the book. If you want spaces around ``val_separator`` then include them in the ``val_separator`` string.
-* ``book_count(query, use_vl)`` -- returns the count of books found by searching for ``query``. If ``use_vl`` is ``0`` (zero) then virtual libraries are ignored. This function and its companion `book_values()`` are particularly useful in template searches, supporting searches that combine information from many books such as looking for series with only one book. It cannot be used in composite columns unless the tweak ``allow_template_database_functions_in_composites`` is set to True. It can be used only in the GUI.

   Using a stored template instead of putting the template into the search eliminates problems caused by the requirement to escape quotes in search expressions.

 * ``booksize()`` -- returns the value of the calibre 'size' field. Returns '' if there are no formats.
 * ``check_yes_no(field_name, is_undefined, is_false, is_true)`` -- checks if the value of the yes/no field named by the lookup name ``field_name`` is one of the values specified by the parameters, returning ``'yes'`` if a match is found otherwise returning the empty string. Set the parameter ``is_undefined``, ``is_false``, or ``is_true`` to 1 (the number) to check that condition, otherwise set it to 0. Example:
