Description Kevin Pearsall 2005-11-03 10:40:42 UTC

when using the search function from the player ui, composers, bands, and
orchestras show up as matching strings even if you have told them not to show up
in the artist list in server settings -> behavior.

Comment 1 Blackketter Dean 2005-11-03 15:59:57 UTC

I'm not sure that this is necessarily bad behavior.  Can you explain why you'd rather not see the results 
in the search?

Comment 2 Blackketter Dean 2005-11-03 16:16:59 UTC

thanks for the quick reply. in my opinion, when searching by "artist" one wishes to see the 
"artist" (rolling stones, beach boys, frank sinatra, etc.). currently searching by "artist" considers the 
"author" of each individual song. i don't think that it is helpful to have thousands of individual "authors" 
listed as "artist". it make seaching by "artist" literally impossible.
 
thanks,

Comment 3 Kevin Pearsall 2005-11-04 10:39:10 UTC

i definitely think it's bad behavior.  because if you have
composer/band/orchestra disabled in the artist list, why should it show up when
you SEARCH by artist as opposed to BROWSE by artist?

it's just inconsistent confusing behavior...

Comment 4 Blackketter Dean 2005-11-04 10:40:06 UTC

Upon reflection, I agree.

Comment 5 Dan Sully 2005-11-04 13:37:44 UTC

So I don't  believe you.. running trunk, If I don't have any Composer, etc checked in Settings -> Behavior, 
and search for a Composer (that I know to be only a composer), they don't appear in the search.

Comment 6 Dieter 2005-11-04 15:16:05 UTC

It seems that in the web ui the simple search doesn't find the composer but the
advanced search does (and the search on the squeezebox does also). At least that
is inconsistent.

Comment 7 Kevin Pearsall 2005-11-09 16:20:05 UTC

which search were you using dan?

Comment 8 Dan Sully 2006-05-02 17:46:29 UTC
