"Subject" in Library filter

I was looking for some books on the early chapters of Genesis. So I opened the Library and filtered by Subject, choosing "Bible O.T.", then Genesis. Doing so will not show me some very important resources because they're classified under "Genesis 1-11" or "Genesis 1-3" or "Genesis 1". (Yes, I know about the search function, but it's an extra step that seems unnecessary.) Of course, these subjects are way down the list. I almost toiled away on this without the aid of Westermann's commentary, Bonhoeffer's insights, etc. because I wouldn't ordinarily think to filter based on arbitrary chapter groupings.

I kind of wish that "Genesis" was the subject for all of them. Maybe "Genesis 1-11" could be a sub-subject in much the same way that "Genesis" is a sub-grouping for "Bible O.T."

But it isn't and I realize that I don't really have a question here, other than a request for an easier way of dealing with the situation.

The more precise search function that is used in the Sidebar filter has to match the full value i.e. "Genesis" does not match "Genesis 1-11".

Maybe "Genesis 1-11" could be a sub-subject in much the same way that "Genesis" is a sub-grouping for "Bible O.T."

"sub-subject" or the hierarchy of the Subject field is controversial enough e.g. you cannot go back a level from "Genesis" to "Bible O.T." But the "Genesis" count would have to be inclusive e.g. a count of 24 instead of 18, in order to break out the extra 6 titles based on chapters at the next level!

Yes, I know about the search function, but it's an extra step that seems unnecessary.

The more forgiving Library search function will ensure that the value contains "Genesis". To avoid an extra step, I set up a Collection using the Library search function in the rule e.g. Subject:O.T.--Genesis. Then you can edit it for other books e.g. Subject:N.T.--Revelation (no spaces).
