  • File help/search.page — part of check-in [ac8632bc29] at 2014-06-03 00:29:43 on branch trunk — 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]

	<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>Lastly, there are three search methods. You mostly want to use the <gui>cache search</gui>,
	which just scans through the station lists streamtuner2 has downloaded. Since you are mostly
	looking for something you had already seen, this will give you the desired results.</p>

	<p>The <gui>server search</gui> would try to do a live search on the directory servers,
	providing you with the most recent data. However, it's not implemented for all channel
	plugins, and therefore brings limited output.</p>



	<p>Use the button <gui>google it</gui> as last resort, if streamtuner2 didn't find anything.</p>

	<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

	<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>
