Super Search Update

Orwell · Post by **Orwell** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 9:17 am

I was searching for a video with the song mad world, and I knew the anime, paranoia agent, but when I type both things in, i dont get any results, even when i copy and paste all of the information given when I just search under paranoia agent. I tested this with a few videos all to the same result. I also attempted copying and pasting the title of the video, to search under that, and it doesnt seem to work either, although that seems to be the case only a few times. I'll test this again when i have more time, but i thought it best to mention it now.

Hey Orwell,

Yes, there is currently a 4 character minimum to searches. Your query should work if you use "world" for the song and "paranoia" for the anime. I'm going to knock it down to 3 characters later today as well as implement quotes (ex. "mad world" with quotes for an exact match) and the "fewer results" option for categories.

Thanks again for your help!

Phade.

Hey All,

Ok, the quoted text search portion is now working as well as "less results" when choosing multiple categories. For quoted text, it will search for exactly what you put in quotes. Ex. a search for the song "mad world" or "in the end" will pull up songs that have that exact match in the song name.

Again, lemme know if stuff breaks.

Phade.

I noticed that it won't show any yu gi oh amvs. It just says there are no results. I tried typing in a song from one of the one's I've already downloaded, but it still didn't show any yu gi oh ones. That's the only problem I found, though. I hope you can fix it.

Thanks! ^__^

How did you type the name in? I belive you have to put in "Yu-Gi-Oh!" for it to appear because Hyphens (-) can be considered part of the name.

Yea, I did that. I actually tried to spell it a couple of different ways, that one included, but it still didn't work.

Well i know on google, if you search with hyphens, it wil also return results with spaces, and vice versa. Similarly, if you search with spaces, you can also get results that have no spaces. Maybe it would be good to implement like that.

If it does that though for Yu-gi-oh won't it be below the three letter minimum?

But if you search with the quotes, it shouldn't violate the 3-letter minimum...
