Search By Extra Tags script no longer working

Post by zmachine01 »

I frequently use the script for searching by extra tags. For the last few releases, it hasn't been working. For instance searching for the number 316

:ex1:*316* OR ex2:*316* OR ex3:*316* OR ex4:*316* OR ex5:*316* OR ex9:*316* OR cmt:*316* /t

Nothing is returned although I have many files with it in the extra tags

What's the type of these columns (Number, Text...) and is 316 the entire content or just part of it?

The columns are Extra Columns One through Four and also the Comment Column. They are configured as both Text and Pop-Up List types. "316" is not in the pop-up list but in the past that hasn't mattered and besides, items that are in the pop-up list, like "303" and "UHMW", still aren't found with the script. I also use the Comment column a lot and I use the script to search for files that I know have bits in the Comment column. That has always worked up until recently.

Why don't you show a screenshot with all those 4 extra columns + custom columns that CONTAIN data so that we don't have to guess what's happening on your side?

It fails since v25.20.0107
The versions before are fine...

Confirmed, it looks strange, but that's just an error in the "Parsed:" line, which is just made for debugging (fix comes). It does not explain the issue of the user (which I still don't fully understand for lack of information).

I initially thought it might have something to do with our network at work, because it has been sluggish in returning results for the last few years. But it also is not working on the local drives and is also not working on my local drive on my computer at home

On a very short tag sample, yes works...

The query check looks fine now, too:

Code: Select all

Query:  :ex1:*316* OR ex2:*316* /t /?
Parsed: Extra1:*316* OR Extra2:*316*

I replaced the word "ex" with the word "Extra" in the script and it did not work. But I apologize I didn't originally display the exact script that I'm using. It's:

$q = "*" . input() . "*"; goto "*?:ex1:$q OR ex2:$q OR ex3:$q OR ex4:$q OR ex5:$q OR ex9:$q OR cmt:$q /t";

Assuming you are using the latest beta:
1) Simplify your query to isolate the problem.
2) Append /? (as shown here: viewtopic.php?p=217249#p217249) and post the parsed term.
3) Answer my question here: viewtopic.php?p=217223#p217223
