All I know is that when I went to add DVD by title and typed in Taxi 4, I got nothing. That is wrong, and bad for business. That must have been before search was targeted to Original Title field as well. Quote:
And BTW, I know what this thread is about. Taxi 4 (T4xi) was presented as a valid example of what can happen when one blindly applies rules outside of the context of the ultimate objective. And I agree that it is a good example. That was a valid example before program search was fixed. Now it it lie to claim that typing T4xi doesn't find Taxi 4, if Original Title field has been filled correctly. |

lol at 8 pages of this shiitake mushroom. It's part of the game, but it's not that surprising when people say you must follow the rules without interpretation in some case and when people say you must not follow the rules because we don't like them in some case  The 2 "s" is an interpretation, but since it's Yves who bring it the usual suspects had decided to not follow the rules (sorry but a big letter isn't a symbol it's a big letter). It's even funnier because I'm sure the most vocals rules zealots would have agree it's one "s" if someone else would have bring that case. |

The 2 "s" is an interpretation, but since it's Yves who bring it the usual suspects had decided to not follow the rules (sorry but a big letter isn't a symbol it's a big letter). It's even funnier because I'm sure the most vocals rules zealots would have agree it's one "s" if someone else would have bring that case. Anything that isn't available on the keyboard without using the character map isn't a standard character. Why don't you show me how to type the "S" stretching over two rows into the title field? If you see this as one "S" the outcome is the same because both words "nun" and "gun" would then have 1/2 of an "s" at the end which again is not a character available on the keyboard thus making it a symbol and not a standard character. I would love to know why all you NON ZEALOTS leave out the part of the rules that tells us how to handle this: For titles which include periods, dashes, or other symbols, check the credit block on the back of the case if included. If not, check the film credits or opening sequence. Use these to determine whether to exclude or convert the symbol to a standard character such as ".", "-", or "*" |

So are you saying the only reason this thread has attention is because it is "pick on Yves day"? |

So are you saying the only reason this thread has attention is because it is "pick on Yves day"? How about this thread has so much attention because the poll is misleading and the first post is written to start an argument. Nobody who wants to honestly clarify a question, that she or he has about what the title in question would or should be, will write a post or start a poll like this. I don't care if it's surfer some zealot or the pope himself. |

(...rules interpretation...)
Because it's irrelevent... a big S isn't a symbol, just a letter written bigger than usual. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

No, I say that if that would have been brought by anyone else people would read the rules without interpretation and don't invent imaginary symbol. Nobody else would have brought it up that way. |

Kulju is right....Taxi 4 finds T4xi without a problem when I just searched it. Are you sure? I just went to search for it, using Add By Title (since I don't have the disc), and no search that just used "taxi" (whether or not "Search within title" was checked) yielded any sort of Taxi 4/T4xi results. I needed to use "t4" to locate it. |

I made my comments based on these results ... but why are they different from yours? Because no one bothered to add the original title. As long as the original title if filled in it will work... as the search will search the original title. I have confirmed this myself earlier today. | | | | Pete |

That's why it's not a standard character and that's why you have to look at the credit block or the film title. Why is this so hard to understand? |

| | Posted: | | | | @addicted,
Thanks for checking. Then that solves it for me. Just update the profile, and all is good as far as I am concerned. That means if a new customer comes to the database and looks for it, he will find it.
Edit: must be the US Locality needs the fix. | | | Thanks for your support.

I've seen many strange things brought to this sub-forum since I'm a member and I've seen many of them too on the old board. And many of them weren't brought by Yves I agree with you that he had an agenda behind his post, but that doesn't change the fact he is right on this one if the rules must be always followed without interpretation as the Gospel of God. |
