Hi i am a subscriber to search on Newsbin.nbi but the search results are poor hardly any for example if i typed in ZTP033 i get 1 result yet if i use Binsearch i get 100s

please help frustrating

Those results appear to be .zip files which we are filtering as probable spam. I'll look into excluding this group and allowing .zip files.

Thank you all Karaoke files are zip well 99% are

thanks again

Hi am still only getting 1 result could it be my settings?

It's going to take a few days for me to test the changes and re-index all the karaoke groups.

Hi if i type in ZTP033 i get 1 zip file ZTP033-12 -<some specific content we don't discuss here>

yet if i type it in Binsearch i get this (copy and paste that url )

You are beating a dead horse. I've already acknowledged a problem and I am working on it.

sorry someone asked me what message i was getting then they deleted there post

Hi any updates on this problems please still only getting 1 result

thank you

I was wrong about the source of the problem. There are a ton of .zip files available in the karaoke groups. Your specific search was accessing results > 2 years old which would reside in our archive database. Since this is not a widespread critical problem I have reduced the priority on it. I still plan to address it this week but the problem isn't as bad as I thought.

Oh ok is there not an option on Newsbin to search later posts?
that would solve my problem looking for certain tracks

cheers

On a search, Newsbin will find the first 2000 matches, whether it's in the active database or the archive database. If you have more than 2000 results, you can get the next 2000 results by clicking the "Load Older Posts" button that is to the third button to the right from the Search field. The fact that we have an active and an archive database is totally transparent to searching. I only mentioned it because in your case, your missing files should be in the archive database. It's just a matter of me rebuilding it for this group but I have a few other higher priority tasks to knock out first.

Well gave up waiting had poor search results for months so decided to Cancel my search subscription
if your not going to treat each paying customer with the same priority why should i give you well earned money?

cheers

I just fixed it this morning. Thanks for your patience.
