Database Search, Please post comments here Options

[foosion]

without contest menu hack , "open directory"  isn't  useful: can you remove from context menu?

I would have to look for this particular entry, and not include it. I don't know, if it's worth the hassle. I'm currently porting my plugins to fb2k 0.7, the problem probably solved there (I'll have to look a bit more into the new stuff to know for sure).

Reproduced

Sorry, i have I forgot a line, i have edit  my post  (reopen database search)

Thanks, now I see what was going wrong. This should be fixed now.

[BlindSeer]

Thanks for making Ctrl-A work. I still think an option to play all search results when enter is pressed in the search field would be pretty cool, but I'm happy.

foo_dbsearch 0.10 public test
Foobar2000 version: 0.7x

Notes: Full documentation will come with the final 0.10 release (later today?). Everyone who has used previous versions of this plugin should have little problems (I hope). For now, the help in the configuration has some basic info.

download link: foo_dbsearch-0.10.zip

from the change log:

[0.10]
2003-06-29
- upgraded to 0.7b9 sdk
- removed epxerimental feature: background color codes
- display string now works like in the playlist (color codes and columns)
- some minor ui changes

Edit by Case: fixed the link

[foosion]

There's now preliminary documentation available on foo_dbsearch 0.10: readme.html

In case you already have 0.10, you should redownload it now (small fix+enhancement).

[Melomane]

great work

[anza]

Ok I think there's again something fishy going on
Is it just me, or doesn't the font for selected text change? No matter how many times I set it to white (actually, the in the color selection, it is the color I've set it) but still it shows as black when I open up the window. All other colors work fine.
But otherwise, really great job here!

[foosion]

[0.10a]
2003-06-30
- fixed text color configuration: it now also works, if the search window is closed
- added toggable "quicklist" (lame excuse for not yet having presets)

The quicklist entries can be configured in - tada - the configuration. Each non-empty line will add one entry to the quicklist. If the quicklist is off, the plugin will always use the custom search string from the configuration. If the quicklist is on, the selected quicklist entry is used as search string. The state of the quicklist and its entries are remembered. The selection is remembered, but it is reset to "Custom search string" when you edit the quicklist entries.

PS: Still the same download link as for 0.10.

[anza]

It still won't work. "Selected text color" is still inverted color of "text color" (ie. black if "text color" is white).

[Melomane]

confirmed, but choose color same in playlist work fine (0000FF|0000FF)
Simply remove "choose color for selected text" !?

quick list is wonderfull!!!!

[foosion]

I uploaded 0.10b. "Selected text color" now works like in 0.9 again.

[foosion]

Uploaded foo_dbsearch 0.10c for foobar2000 version 0.7b12.
No new features. The download link is still the same as for all previous 0.10 versions.

[musicmusic]

Thanks foosion, the new version is great

A few things

- when you choose something in the search history drop down list, the results is not updated, could this be changed?

- searching gets really slow with complicated display strings, not your fault I suppose? (Its only noticable on empty search with display all entires when query empty on, or searches with lots of results (1000+) difference is 0.09 secs vs ~1-2 secs)

- how come the jump to letter in the result list is gone in 0.9+ ? can it be added again ?

- will playlist search behaviour be improved ?

But the new version is really great (and will be better with the profiles )

ssamadhi97 asked me to remove this, I think I should make it configurable.

Try using a separate search string. If the difference in complexity is big enough, you may gain some speed.

The jump to letter feature is part of the standard behaviour of Windows list boxes. The new version uses a custom control. The feature is just not (yet) implement there.

- will playlist search behaviour be improved ?

What do you mean? Please elaborate.

well I actually use it to access my frequent searches so that would be helpful

I dont know, I thought Id use a cut down version of my foobar display string as the database display string but its too slow so Ill just forget about that..

It thought so, its useful so it would be appreciated..

What do you mean? Please elaborate.

Its useless adding it back into the playlist on double click dont you think? At least the option to change behaviour (two that come to mind are to play it, or locate it in the playlist) would be nice.

Would it be possible to make a button in config to copy foobar's playlist display colours/font etc. (if they are accessible) ? Would save a lot of time for though of us who use the same colours/settings. (But at the same time Im not particulary bothered)

Thanks.

To put things right, ssamadhi97 asked me to change the behaviour in a way that the plugin won't update the results when you choose the currently selected from the dropdown list, thereby destroying the selection. Unfortunately, I noticed that even with the old update code, updating when a new item is selected does not work correctly on my PC. If it worked for you in previous versions, that was merely luck

While the plugin already supports searching in multiple domains (databas, playlist, and history), it still is centered around the database. I'm still working on a better integration of other search domains, like configurable, domain specific default actions. The current interfaces do not allow to create a search domain dynamically (for example alternate playlists, bookmark collections, ...). When a (for me) acceptable level of integration has been reached, the name of the plugin will be changed as well.

Formatting strings are accessible, the font and the colors are not AFAIK.

No, it didnt, not even in foo_shizzle that's why I was asking about it..

Oh ok then..

Hello there,

I just have one question on this plugin :
I can't find out how to perform a search that show entries that exactly match.
I want to search entries based on an album reference number.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

I hope you don't want to do case-sensitive matching, because this is not possible ATM. But as far as I've understood your question, you want to search for all entries that have tag field X equal to some value you want to search for. The plugin shows all entries that contain a given keyword (or multiple keywords, but I assume that is not important for your task).
The trick is to choose the search string and the keyword in a way, so that the keyword will only match whole fields. One way to this is to use some delimiters in your search string and to use them in (or rahter around) the keyword as well. Example search string:

CODE

|%artist%|

With this you can search for |foo|, and the plugin will only find entries where the artist field is equal to foo. Of course you don't need to use the same delimiter character on both sides, you might also use ^ and $, or < and >, or ....
