Title: Search bar: two enhancements... please!
Post by: Ce.D on April 18, 2004, 01:19:55 pm
Hello there!

What about those two little enhancement to the search bar:

1. Ctrl+Enter (or any other shortcut) to ADD the search's result to "Playing Now"; that would be VERY convenient

2. Have search be accent-insensitive (i.e. e=é=è=ê=ë=..., a=à=â=...); that would be great for the non-english titles/users

Please !

Thank you ;-)

I'd really like accent insensitive searching too.  I've got lots of Spanish music which I can't find by searching because the tags have accents in them.

accent insensitive = great idea

ive been forced to do find and replace with all the accented letters to avoid this problem, but would much rather have the track details accurate

Both are good suggestions.  Thanks.

Both would be great - especially the accent insensitive search. Would be really useful.

Thank you guys for your very positive feedback !

I'll be looking forward to seeing those two little enhancements appear in MC soon ;-)

PS: some database implements the 'accent-insensitive' stuff through a clever 'to_ascii' function (bringing all character codes above 127 within the ASCII [non-accented] range).  Just my 1-penny clue ...

Cheers !

Thank you very much Matt !

...huh...

And do you think # 1 will be possible (I would think it is a very minor tweak to the search bar) ?

;D

#2 works flawlessly as far as I've tested.

Thanks again
