Title: Make searching more smart
Post by: xeo on January 15, 2025, 19:46:10
Change the search method (in Advanced search/ML/Playlists) so that it shows the most similar results, for example when you do not enter special characters.

So, you mean search should ignore all special characters due comparing the words?

Yes, it could be added as an option to search options menu (https://i.imgur.com/ka5h8TT.png) in case it turns out that there are too many results or something.
However, I don't know how to add it as an option for searching in ML and playlists.

I think, we can try to test this behavior without the option, and add the option in case of negative feedback

Can you make it portable version? I would not like to install another version to not to break the main installation.

Ok, I tested it (build 2658) and with these 4 examples (dots, &, ', -) only without "-" works.

Ok, I will improve

In build 2659 "&" still doesn't work. I think there can be some problem with space characters.
Also, if you could also include "_" (underscore).
Also, how diacritical characters are working here? In my language while searching some are bypassed and some are not. I would like all of them to be bypassed. But this is of course a problem because there are a lot of diacritical characters in different languages.

Explain please

From the above mentioned characters, bypassing these already works: . (dots), ' (apostrophe), - (dash)
And these still not: & (ampersand), _ (underline)
It's in my video example (when typing "aly&fila", nothing is shown until I add space).

Title: Re: Make searching more smart
Post by: Artem on February 16, 2025, 23:33:41
so, you want & be replaced with space character?
Title: Re: Make searching more smart
Post by: xeo on February 17, 2025, 00:44:17
No, I just want AIMP to show the searched files that have in the name "&" (with or without spaces).
So that, for example, "a&b.mp3" and "a & b.mp3" files are found after entering "a&b".

Now in 2660 it passes all my tests. Although, when I type just "&", it shows all files, not only with "&".

In 2663 still the same ("&" shows all files), additionally typing without "_" stopped working (with "_" in file name).

I've upload new nightly build, please try it.

What exactly the same? Just now the "&" should not be ignored. Can you explain the issue in more details?
Title: Re: Make searching more smart
Post by: xeo on March 02, 2025, 14:40:35
- typing "&" shows all files
- when there is for example a_b.mp3 file, and I type "ab", it is not found.

I failed to reproduce these cases on latest nightly build (02 Mart).
