— Search dialog offers (x) all channels or (x) just current for server+cache scan
again. Removed search="" parameter from channels that don't implement it.
(To remove extraneous .has_search channel attribute again somewhen..)
External: Xiph IO cache ?search= should be changed to work on station titles instead of genres. (user: mario, size: 1993) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]
<page xmlns="http://projectmallard.org/1.0/" type="guide" id="search"> <info> <link type="guide" xref="bookmarks#other"/> <link type="guide" xref="index#functions"/> <desc>Quicksearch field and Ctrl+F compound search window.</desc> </info> <title>Searching</title> <p>There are two search functions.</p> <section id="quicksearch"> <title>Quick search</title> <p>Just enter text into the quick search box atop. Streamtuner2 will instantly highlight any matches in the current stations view. If you switch tabs, just click the glass icon to reapply the highlighting.</p> </section> <section id="cachesearch"> <title>Search window</title> <p>You can get to the search dialog via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui> <gui>Find</gui></guiseq> or <key>Ctrl</key>+<key>F</key>. Centrally to this dialog is the text field, where you can specify the phrase to scan for.</p> <!--p>Above you can check which channel plugins to inspect for the search term. Using this allows to limit the search to specific radio station directories, but usually you want to search them all.</p> <p>Below the search phrase text box, you can specifiy which station fields to look into. Often you just want to search the titles of radio stations. But you can also have the search occour in the description/playing fields. Alternatively you could just search the homepage links.</p--> <p>And then there are two search methods. You mostly want to use the live <gui>Server search</gui>. It passes your search terms to the actual directory services, and loads the most recent data into a result list (this might take a few seconds). It's not implemented for all channel plugins however.</p> <p>With <gui>Cache find</gui> would just look up entries in your already downloaded channel/genre lists. Since often you are just looking for something you had already seen, this will give you the desired results.</p> </section> </page>
