It's that time again.
If you have time, please view the list of Search rules and modifiers and the examples that I have posted on my website. If you see mistakes or omissions, email me. Would appreciate comments by Friday.

The list is pretty much the same as v9, but I have added the new ~limit, and new examples. I'm sure I am missing other 'new' rules.

Thank you for posting this Lise. I can't add anything but I've found it really useful as a quick reference guide.

John.

Thanks lise.  Comments:

1. In the example for album there should be a double quote after [Highway 61
   
2. In the example for limit I'd remove the (-1) after the text 'all artists' as it's not relevant in that context - only in the syntax that you show and expalin afterwards.

3.  Duplicates has been updated. nodup now does keep files that are duplicated but it only keeps one copy of it.

4.  Full Albums.  Should this say 'returns all full albums containing the words...?

5.  Good ones to include in the examples page would be:

Imagefile=[] (All files with image file)
and -Imagefiel=[] (All files with no image file)

These are often asked in the forum.

6.  folder=”cover art”  will return files in c:\Music\Cover Art\

    Why the reference to C:\music\cover art ?  Why this folder?

Nice job.  Thanks.

Oh and....

lyrics="you know your problem"

Answer = Beautiful South - You Keep it All In.

This was a lyrics quiz wasn't it?  I just thought I'd say the answer.  And, no, I didn't cheat.

Answer = Beautiful South - You Keep it All In.

Wow. Impressive!

Thanks for all the suggestions, JLee. I've added them.
On #5, though, it's the opposite, isn't it?

imagefile=[] means empty field, so returns files without images? That's the way I wrote it. If I'm mistaken, let me know and I'll change to what you said in the first place.

Thanks again.

And everyone else--Last chance, or forever hold your breath

-image file =[] would bring back anything that the image file wasn't empty.
image file = [] will bring back empty results

Oops.  You're right.
