Mike Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 direct search been up a week or so now the idea is you can drill down to any track in refosoul in about 5 secs eg type a phrase or word in, wait a second or two, select matching artist or title that shows and away you go have read in past some not actually getting how this works so a shout for feedback on it does it need instructions ? does it work ok for you ? were you aware? do you use it ? and so on
Mike Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 gonna get anything back on this post or do i have to bump it all day ? it is planned to be a major part of refosoul so any feedback would be helpful ta mike

The search picks up the rest, then click with mouse, perfect. i.e. "Miracles" (You only need to type "mir") & miracles is there on the menu.
Mike Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 cheers Ropger good to hear working ok for ya have added some words to highlight the auto-complete search as that is the main aim of it eg you can get to any track with minimum effort type a few letters, wait and then one click got a feeling its one of those features that maybe many are not fully aware ? any one else like to pass on view on it working ok, usefull, dont work, you what, shrug, problems and all that sort of thing

Guest G MAN Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Mike.... It seems to work fine for me. When I 1st started using it I was frustrated because several times I entered an artists name that wasn't in refosoul and of course nothing happened. I assume this is the standard result when this situation comes up. Other than that....now that I have it figured out it works great. The previous search option that was usually located on the side of the page or at the bottom also worked fine for me before it was removed. I want to thank you for giving everybody this option....it's fast and convenient and is way better than what was available back in the day. G MAN

Simon M Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Just wondering is it possible to get the gallery search back ?

Simon M Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 as in the members albums, flyers etc yep ? thats still available just use it when viewing the gallery or hit the gallery tab when viewing search results is that what yoiu re on about simon ? Yeah mike . I'll give it a go
Mike Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 Yeah mike . I'll give it a go should be ok the whole seacrh thing is a bit wieldy cause there are two different systems forum based - forum - gallery - events - blogs (have added refosoul to this for ease of use - but this may be causing confusion?) the other system is refosoul- articles- links which includes the "direct search" which can be found at the top of every refosoul page) works fine Mike..... thanks for passing on a lot of work has gone on in background with the duplicate clips and naming of artists/clips etc still work in progress - but the results from the "direct search" should be a lot better along with the artist listing pages and more
Kevinkent Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Ah....at last I've found out how to use it! It works fine Mike, though I don't know if it's just me not liking change but I sort of prefered it as it was. In the meantime, and during my confused period, I've been searching for tracks on youtube and to be honest find that easier, quicker, and preferable. Like I say - maybe it's just me. - Kev

Like I say - maybe it's just me. - Kev thanks for that kev dont really wanna get in a compare to "youtube" talk at the moment as just trying to get a handle on thoughts/views on the actual "direct search" feature itself rather than widen things any of regular long time refo uploadrers/users wanna pass on views.... ?
arnie j Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 i use refosoul quite a lot to listen to tunes and find the new system superb mike, as already said,best to type slowly and the search does the rest then one click and happy days, nice one mike,great feature, soooo many brill tunes to hear, only one negative from me mike,my wants list has gone totally out of control now cheers jason
jocko Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 It works good here Mike, and yes its a great resource, its taking a bit of time getting used to but not been on as much as I would have liked so need to spend some time and I think it will become very user friendly. Said before Mike it may be worth doing a simple users guide, but appreciate there are probably a million things with higher priority, If things calm down for me in next few weeks I would be happy to help with that
