May be it is a matter of timing. I learnt about the filters only about a
week before Tamara's question came along. The help pages however didn't
manage to teach me the more complex filters, but finally I discovered the
autofilters did an almost good enough job.
I'm working on a browser based version that does nothing more or less than
most of us would need.. A sneak preview can be seen on

With JavaScript activated in your browser, you can filter the list by
selecting a lace type, subject, author and/or language. To select multiple
types, subjects etc. hold down the ctrl key or command/apple key. Some
browsers will react with just a small delay (it is a big list), others
require activation with the filter button. Old browsers might not show the
filters at all, but you can check out an alternative browser:

I'm working on a version with easy to maintain content, allowing to choose
between spreadsheet layout or a card-like layout and choose/arrange your own
columns/fields.

problem Robin sketches: check "or" in the dialog of step two.
Brilliant - why didn't I think of Filters and the advanced filter tool to
narrow down the search? I use it at work all the time, even the Boolean
parts (and vs. or, the contains, begins, etc).
