Searching problem

I noticed something when doing a supersearch.

I have a video with the anime Naruto and the song Bombshell by Powerman 5000. I noticed when I searched for naruto and downloadable, it didn't come up. When I entered all, it did. The video is uploaded and the download works fine. I think some other people's videos that I remember using Naruto didn't come up. Any answers?

I think the "downloadable" selection wont return videos that are hosted locally. Or something like that.

I just tested it - your right.

Why is it set up that way?

Are you sure? I thought Phade gave everyone a chance to have Local videos included in their searches.

I just searched downloadable and no videos with local only came up. Thats really stupid, why can I just add an indirect linking to nowhere to get it in the downloadable search

. They should add it.

Well you can search local if you want to find local videos

I know, but I would think most people would search downloadable

.

Having an indirect link is an *excellent* idea! ^_^ I could just link to my webpage that would then link right back to the vid description page - boom, suddenly it's a downloadable video.

Don't know why I didn't think of that. ;p

I thought that was only for donators?

Hey,

Fixed. The search option "downloadable" now returns videos with direct, indirect, or local links in them. Please remove any fake links made to have local vids show up in "donwloadable" searches.

Phade.
