Describe the feature/enhancement
It would be nice to have more flexibility when filtering books in your library when you want to browse.
First, I would like to be able to filter off of the Negative of a filter (For Example: Does Not Contain Tag X)
Secondly, I would like to be able to use multiple filters (For Example: Progress: Not Started, Author: Stephen King, Genre: [NOT] Horror)
Thank you!

That functionality would be awesome and greatly enhance usability!

It would be nice to select multiple params, not just from the same type (series) but also from other list (like the op said, combine with authors and states)
Multiple Params being selected
Highlighting fields that have some kind of active params
Maybe even bring all the selected params to the top, out of the sorted order to be able to disable quickly.

Being able to select multiple filters would be great for the users. For example, they could filter by 2 different Genres such as Fiction & History, Fiction & Space, Non-Fiction & Space
@fivestones commented on GitHub (Jan 22, 2024):
I think both negative filters (e.g., books that aren't tagged "children's") and multiple filters (e.g., both genre of "Fantasy" and narrator of "Michael Kramer" to show only fantasy books narrated by Michael Kramer) are important.
I'd love this to be implemented!
See also: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2197, more or less a dup of this.

This would be especially useful to leverage for something like dynamic collections, or for a more robust form of RBAC.
@fivestones commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2024):
What's RBAC?
@sydlexius commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2024):
It's a misapplication of the term, but it's Role-based Access Control. Right now I only make the audiobook library available to the kids, because I've got a good handle on the tags that work on that situation. For eBooks it's a different story, as the method I use for tagging isn't as good. Unfortunately, I can't setup any sort of filtering under the user profile that says allow access where tag = X and type = Y. I would assume that if we can get complex (multiple criteria with basic boolean operators) filtering, this would be a good basis to build atop of.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (May 6, 2024):
A suggestion for an implementation of multiple filters was shared https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2940
Keeping this is the main thread for multiple filter support.
@DDriggs00 commented on GitHub (Mar 20, 2025):
Negative tag/genre filtering would be very useful.

There are many similar issues, but another in this line is #1945

Please also allow us to save views

It would be very neat to have something like this:
So you could do things like selecting multiple tags and excluding certain tags, for example "Steampunk" plus "Suspense" but not "Supernatural".
Not sure if it'd be better for the multiple tags checked with ✅ to be cumulative or subtractive though. Maybe an option in the settings to choose which?
