Search suggestions not show results i would exspect
« on: September 10, 2015, 09:55:18 am »

Not sure if this is intended but it feels off to me.
When i start search for a TV show "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert"
I started with "colber"
The main window is filtered to just that show.
But the Search suggestions below the search just says "showing files containing "colber""
There are no suggestions until i type "colbert"

If seems strange to me. That there are no other shows that match "colber", Other than "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert"
Yet it's not a suggestion.
Am i missing something?

Thanks

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this.

Keep in mind that the search suggestions shown are for the programs in the EPG, so you need to have programs loaded to see suggestions.  It's not based on what you have recorded (although adding that too might make sense).

Next build we'll try this:
Changed: When showing search suggestions in the Television view, it will look at both recordings and the EPG (previously it only looked at the EPG).

I was trying out a few different searches to see if I could figure out why this might happen. When I tried entering "colber" into the search, it would still find episodes in the guide, but it would not provide any search suggestions. I wonder if this has something to do with programs with longer titles. It seems to give very low (if any) priority to words at the end of longer titles (for the searches I tried anyway). For example, "corden" and "corde" would not return any search suggestions; however, it would still find epsiodes of "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in the EPG. Also, "Jame" would not return a search suggestion for that particular show(even though it returned suggestions for other shows with "James" in the title), but "James" would.

21.0.6 produces much better suggestions. Thank you!

The only problem i see now. (It could have been there before.)
Is that it shows things i wouldn't expect.

So when i search for "stephen" under all programs. I get this.
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (name)
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (Track by 2 KCBS)
Stephanie; Danika
Stephanie; Melisha
Miss Stephanie

When you click on most these. They take you to "no program selected".
except for some reason Mis Stephanie selected. Takes you to a Saturday program for whatever that is.

I was getting similar results, but this should be fixed in the next build.
