Filmaffinity - búsqueda limitada / short searching

Post by AARON8888 »

Hola
Tengo última versión amc y uso última versión script Filmaffinity.

Cuando busco títulos como estos: Red [2010] o Big [1988], los resultados son muchos pero al final se queda corto y no llega al título que busco.

¿Hay alguna manera de aumentar los resultados o de limitar la búsqueda con la palabra que buscas?
¿Quizá poniendo alguna regla o signo ortográfico en el campo de búsqueda sin tener que modificar el script?

Gracias de antemano. :)

Hi!
I have last version amc, using last version of filmaffinity as well.
When I try to search titles like Red [2010] or Big [1988], then lots of results and limited of time, without my expected title.

Is there any posibility to increase searching of time or put a limit search with the only requested word(s)?
Maybe not necessary to amend script, just to write along the requested word any orthographical simbol?

Thanks in advance.:)

The script just fetches data from the site, so it is a limitation of their own search engine:
https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/search.php?stext=red

I'm not sure what you mean by "increase searching of time" though :??:

Thanks antp for your reply.

As you say script just fetches titles ordered by year which is more useful or practical.
Option to fetch "ordered by relevance" would be a great option as well. If like this, "Red" was in 19 position, and 'Big" in 4 position.

Searching "Red" [2010] --> 534 titles found (including the original title).
Script only provides 150 titles (I don't remember figure now) ordered by year.

Same matter with "Big" [1988] --> 494 titles found.

That is what I meant with ""increase searching of time".

Then, I think script can be modify to fetch all results, instead first 150 titles. I don't know.

Awaiting yours and I appreciate your help. :)

There are options on the right of the script window: double click on "SortByYear" option to disable it and then order by relevance (though that it seems to be the default option)
