can you make the "Quicksearch for same..." query more "fuzzy"? ....
It would be very hard to define the rules ... The only thing I was thinking about is to remove parenthesis in artists, albums or titles before doing the search.
Another improvement would be, if we could define our own "quicksearch for same" queries.
It's on the todo list ...

I am awaiting the new SDK to see how I will implement the new version, as I anticipate some structural changes to fit with the new philosophy since 0.9.5. You should not expect something immediately as I am also busy on other activities at the moment.

Hi, love the plugin thanks a lot!

A little suggestion though,

It'd be nice if it'd bring back the whole playlist if you cleaned the search field.

Like:

You have 1500 songs added, you search for something and it filters it down to 10, but after you delete(clean) whatever you were searching for all those 1500 songs will show up again, instead of having to manually add them yourself again.




EDIT: Nevermind, I see you already did that, thanks a lot! awesome plugin.

Is it possible to have key shortcuts to execute 'search for same artist/album' function? (i want to execute with remote control).

Great your component is.

I thought about something: for fuzzy searching, how about using (a variant of) Soundex, Metaphone or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Stat...lligence_System? Although most of them would be aimed at English artist names(/language), a lot of if not most are English anyway.

EDIT: I've taken a shot at Soundex and have written some tweaked code for Masstagger. After processing some music, I've used an empty file to generate Soundex-codes for searching. It works quite well, even for non-English names. For example, if I try "Mick Wasosgi", I will get the code M2200* which was also generated for "Mike Wyzgowski". "Joe Hisasi" matches "Joe Hisaishi". "Arm Ylitch Cashaturan" would be a close match to "Aram Ilich Khachaturian" (Compare R5432365 and R542365)* and could be found by removing a single character. Other errors could be corrected by swapping two adjacent characters.
* Note that this is my implementation, which differs a little from the original.

Hi, I saw this requested on the last page, but it didn't get an answer, so I thought I'd bump and ask as I would like it too- any chance of a transparent background option? It would look amazing with my config...

Cheers for the great plugin though!

Feature request: autoplaylist creation
Current SDK has API to create autoplaylists, the extended syntax of this component is the same with their syntax. If we can create autoplaylists via this search toolbar, it should be more convenient than bring up 'Media Library -> Search' window.

Hey, i just downloaded this and I cant get it to actually be a part of the toolbar, like i see in screenshots.  This is what i get, and i have no option to add it when i click, as shown.  Any idea why this might be? it seems to be working fine otherwise.

This is Column UI (CUI) component (any foo_uie_*.dll are for CUI) so the toolbar doesn't work in Default UI (DUI).

Hi,

I'm trying to configure foobar2000 similarly to itunes: I use the columns UI and two "filter" panels to filter songs by artist and album.

Alas, I can't seem to get the quick search panel work with this. I'd love to be able to type something into the quick search panel and have the two filter panels and the playlist display only tracks which match the typed string.

For example: I type "Abba" in the quick search panel
and the artist filter panel displays "Abba"
and the album filter panel displays "Waterloo" and "Ring Ring"
and the playlist displays all the songs of the two albums

Is there a way to make the quick search panel filter the filter panels?

It would be nice, I'm also interested.

In addition, I've noticed that qst looses the "inline playlist search" setting when switching search context from playlist to music library (called database) and to playlist again.

I usually use the search bar to search for tracks in the current playlist (and I hate when results are displayed in a new playlist, so I keep the inline search on).
But occasionally it happens that I want to use the bar to search in the DB, and the inline gets disabled (obviously). When I switch the search context to "playlist" again, however, the inline search is still disabled, which isn't what I want.

Is there some way to solve this?

Thanks

hey, I would like to be able to append a new query to the bottom of my current playlist. So as I search for something, the results are added right after the last song in the current playlist. Is this possible?

Hi Nemo, I have a small request if possible.

When using autosearch, and "Search in Playlist" is selected, the results dynamically show as you type in a query and are removed if you delete the query -taking you back to the playlist you were at originally. This is brilliant. However, when "Search in Database" is selected, perform search, and you delete the search query - nothing happens. You are left with the result.

Any chance you could replicate the "Search in Playlist" behaviour?

is there anyway to search in the same window/playlist instead of sending to a new playlist? also is there any way to only show what ive searched for in the filters? like if i were searching for a trip-hop artist i would only want the trip-hop genre to show.

leftclick on the quicksearch icon -> search in... -> playlist
for your second question:
just do a quicksearch (search in playlist) when filter playlist is selected

You're wrong!
Your suggestion would cause quicksearch to only search in the current playlist but still sends the results to the predefined "Search" playlist...
To get what is asked for, you have to enable "Inline playlist search" in addition to "Search in --> Playlist".

Your answer for the second question is also wrong.
This does only search in the filtered playlist but still sends the results to the predefined "Search" playlist or - if "Inline playlist search" is enabled - highlights the searched entry in the playlist but doesn't update the entries in the filters...

yep u get exactly what i mean. u think there is any way to get quicksearch working the way i want i tto?

For the first part of your question: yes!
Enable "Inline playlist search" and "Search in --> Playlist".
Then your search results will only be highlighted in current playlist.

For the second part of your question: no!
QuickSearch and Filters are two different and independent plugins and don't update each other.
But as i said in your other topic, you could enable the filter search instead of using quicksearch.
That does exactly what you want.

for the first part: im not looking to just inline search. the behavior i want comes from quicksearch and filter working in conjunction. i want to search and have filter display results in the same playlist.
