Responsive Search & Refine boxes / buttons

[DrO]

maybe AIMP is a better solution for you than Winamp...

[Koogle]

in some aspects as pointed out like its playlist tab interface and options for it, but other than that its not

Looks good

I'm sure this has been asked before, but just out of laziness and to get it stated here as well, is there any chance to have the Search engine to look into the "comment" tag field too?

[Aminifu]

Winamp's query language feature already supports the comment tag. Look in the advanced mode of the smart views editor for the query language documentation. The syntax can be used in a search box. Prefix a query string with a "?" or "query:".

Thanks for the hint, I guessed there was something like that (lazy day), but I also guessed there was something like this: forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=330495.
I think that would be then my real request; to include "comments" within the -default- searched fields (which seems kinda appropiate now since there isn't any DrO's comments in there.. )

I get an error selecting the link above. Did you test it?

[Victhor]

Yep, there was a higlight I removed and it worked ok when tested. Tried again after you point it out and didn't worked, now I've re-added the same link and is working (¿?).

[DrO]

comments aren't searched by default due to it slowing down the search as a whole (especially if there's a lot of files with comments). and since its possible to make a custom query. maybe an opt-in setting would be one way to do it for where its not viable to edit the query but it'd need the user to check it to enable it.

That was an interesting read. I like that "comments" are not included in the general search. I would like to see "filepath", "composer", and "publisher" not included also or made optional.

It does seem that the choice of tags used in a general search is arbitrary. I often got extra undesired results because "album" is included. Including comments would have resulted in a lot more. Anyway, I now usually use explicit queries so it doesn't much matter to me.

what fields are/are not included in searches should be by pref imo.

love putting the word "Search" inside the box. like changing clear search to an X as well.

something I have seen requested before, and would like to see, is a drop down box (via a down arrow icon next to the X icon maybe? and/or by double clicking into the search box) showing the recent history of past searches, as well as 5 "saved" searches the user could specify in prefs. would really be neat.
