Search Option

[mbyrd76]

I believe that the Search option in Hoster needs to be less sensitive. Example type happy and get everything with that in the name. Or is there a way for me to fix that.

i guessed that's how it was set up, what i do was just i typed in the name of the artist,( most of my singers prefer to sing other artist version of the song) instead of typing in a word from a title. and i dont think theres a way to fix it.

The other thing I have noticed over the years is my own inconsistency in putting in titles. Also the song names are sometimes tricky or cute spellings. I try to think of a search as an absolute string. you can type any part of the string to find what you are looking for. For instance. Who knows how to spell Colbie Caillat? I remember her last name ends with a "t" but I can't remember how to spell it. In the search, I enter "t, Ca" that is enough to get me there. in titles, crying or cryin' is always a stumbler too so I would either just type "cryin", or use the other words in the string like "my eyes out" to find what I am looking for.

I bet you'd never find it with that though, you may want to try "t, Co" , however. I see why you are having troubles.

Actually, I do think the search option is fantastically accurate and very, very quick for me, as I use Marklwood's strategy all the time, i.e., pieces of words or combination of words in the middle of a song or name and ALWAYS get 'em the first time.

I like the search options for the reasons like "wherm I gonna live" for the longest time i couldn't emember how "wherm" was spelled so I just typed in "gonna L" Or stuff Like "leave the p" instead of leave the peices I tend to switch my I and E when typing. Maybe you should type in the artist for that song instead Like when i try to find "One" by metallica or "Walk" by pantera just take some time and figure out the best way to fing it. I wouldn't change that option for anything.
