Global Search Download

Description:

GlobalSearch (version 0.1.6.1)
This plugin allows you to search through your complete music library (including lyrics if available) and provides functionality to control what you want to do with the search results.

It was developed due to the frustration that up until now you can only search
in the on-screen list of items (i.e. filter).

Features

New in this release (0.1.6.1)
- Bugfix: Lyrics search didn't work very well due to several reasons, fixed.
- Lyrics search takes quite long due to SQLite, I have disabled it by default. Click the 'Search fields' button to enable it for your search (item 4).
- After you've searched, the listview with the results will be automatically focussed, thanks trevor!

0.1.6.1
- When the MyLyrics plug-in is installed you can also search through lyrics! To find a lyric, all words have to match and all punctuation marks are removed (So searching for 'wasnt' will also match wasn't. GS can only search through the lyrics indexed by MyLyrics.

- Bugfix: Searching with non-alphanumeric characters, etc. resulted in GS not finding anything.

0.1.5
- MPI support
- Configuration support (from within the configuration part of MP)
- Configuration option: Keyboard type (normal or SMS-styled input)
- When you've entered a query, GlobalSearch will directly search (the search
  button is gone).
- Search button replaced with 'Last searches', which shows a list of your
  search history (up to 10 items). This will be saved, so when you restart
  MP, the search history will not be void.
- Extra option in context-menu of results (i button on remote or F9 on keyboard) -> Add all to playlist (adds all results to the current playlist)

Words from the author

October 3rd, 2008
Well, the 0.1.5 seems to have had no bugs at all (since I received no bugreports), or nobody but me is using this plugin :), so here's version 0.1.6 as a real release!
Anyway, I'm back to annoy you with more features! To be exact: You can now search through the lyrics of a song too! This happens automatically when you have the MyLyrics plugin installed and GS can only search through the lyrics that are indexed, but hey, it's cool, right? Furthermore el_gato helped me to identify and solve a bug in the searching code, since searching for all non-alphanumeric characters like ë and ä would return nothing at all, thanks for that!
For now, I'm off to rob a bank, ...I love GTA :)


Check the readme.txt for more information (and words from the author, yay!) and how to use the plugin.
