But for example I am at a Group of Groups in the search tab and if I search 264 I get resuls and if I search for hdtv I get results.
But if I search for: 264 hdtv I get no results

For example If I want to search for the samples tha have on the subjects HDTV How do I do it?

In this subject for example


I have tried:
[264]*[HDTV]
[264*[hdtv]

"This is not on internet search" internet search works perfectly. Its on a Group or a Group of Groups Search field.

Thanks in advance

Hit the drop down and select the group of groups (GOG) that you want Newsbin to search in, then just search.

I'm not 100% sure what you're doing but, it sounds like you're putting "hdtv" in the group search drop down. That's not a valid group or GOG name so, it's not going to work.

More basically you have to know what groups you want to search in, in order to make this works so, say you searched and found a group that seems to have content you want. Add this group to Newsbin using the "Add Group" window. It defaults to the "Unsorted" GOG. Then in the GOG dropdown, select "unsorted" and it'll only search in the groups listed in that GOG. You can make new GOG's and add groups to them in order to set different sets of groups to search in.

Here are some screen Caps

Telling the whole world what you download isn't a good idea. It's against forum rules too.

You're not using the search tab, you're just loading a group and applying a search filter. That's different than what I heard before.

".*" means match anything.

"apple.*dumpling"

means "match apple and dumpling and they can have any number of letters between them"

From this example, I think you can see you just need to enter two words separated by ".*". I'd suggest not using the brackets initially. They need special handling.

Thanks for the help, that worked. Sorry for the image cap.

Do you know of any other link with other search examples on how to use the [] for example.

[Quade]

You can just ask. Now that you have it sort of working. it's a good time to move on.

"[]" have special meaning in searching so, you have to escape them to search for them.

"\[FULL\].*\[MONTY\]"

For example. The "\" escapes the brackets.

[](){}- are all things you need to escape. I'm sure there are others.

Regex escaping of brackets doesn't appear to be working as expcted with 6.73B2 (4809) with Internet Search.

For example: Trying to search for "[VS]" (Vinegar Syndrome) releases, it instead picks up anything with VS in it.

Search string is

Code: Select all

\[VS\]

against Subject (All Groups).

Returns:

Code: Select all

Stuff vs 5.6.zip
Stuff vs Stuff.zip
Stuff.Vs.OtherStuff.2016.HDRip.XviD.AC3-EVO


etc.

The internet search option does not use Regex (as is used for local search). Have you tried without the backslashes, or by putting the expression in quotes?
