Improved search function

[Tenbob]

Hi. I'd like to suggest an improvement to make it easier to search for songs. At present everything you type in the search box is treated as a single literal string. It would be be easier to use if each word was treated as a separate search term linked by the AND function.

For example. I want to search for a song by the Beatles with Love in the title. If I put "Beatles Love" into the search box I get no results. With this enhancement it would search separately for each word and give hits for the following ...

• Beatles - Love Me Do
• Beatles - She Loves You
• Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love, etc.

This type of search is the default on several other music players. I hope you will consider implementing it, as I really like using AIMP on Android.

If you don't mind, I repost it here :

the algorithm is pretty simple :

Code: [Select]

words = explode the search string with space delimiter " " ; it returns array/list of words

foreach (songs_indexed as song) {
  matchedWords = 0;

  foreach (words as word) {
    if (word exist in song) { // regex test or whatever
      matchedWords++;
    }
  }

  if (matchedWords === words.length) {
    push song or songs[i] in search results array
  }

}

Ok, I will improve the search soon
