Add a filter to the search tabs #36
Comments
are you talking about a more generic advanced search option, like what take a look at google advanced search option: On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 9:50 PM, teo83 notifications@github.com wrote:

That's an option but I was thinking about something simpler, like what is done in Eclipse's preference dialog, for example. A very very simple text box to filter out unneeded results, testing the filter string for containment in the torrent's title. |
I think this 'local filter for search result' feature should be implemented separately from generic search query feature. Because all search engine responses differently with same search term.
So I think whatever we are doing on 'search query <-> search engines', there would be always unwanted results. Moreover some search engine would not respond If I make search calls very fast. So It is safe waiting few or more seconds before narrowing down search results. And these search calls are quite expensive, i.e. long waiting time. It is awful if you don't get good results on first time. So it would quite handy if we could get 'local filter for search results'. Thanks. |
Already implemented #3989 |
I find the search function very useful and I always use that. But server side search usually returns many uninteresting results (I guess search engines OR the words); for example if I search "The X", where X is a particular word, I usually get also "The Y" "The Z" etc. So it would be nice to have a filter field in every tab to remove (client side) the unneeded items; in the example above, i would write X in the field and I should see all the items not containing X disappear.
