Thank you, admin.

All 48 pages are accessible to me when I enter Mu*er NOW [:)],

and they were NOT yesterday.

Thanks to the ITs.

Wasbach

Adrian, all 48 pages are accessible to me when I enter Mu*er, as they were yesterday when wasbach reported the problem. Though aware that it did indeed not make sense and only *mu*er* ought to yield these 1420 results, I have always used the advanced search that way, as it is very usefull.

Why try "p+casso"? The right search goes *p*casso* which turns out a whole lot of Picasso´s! Even a guy called Efter Picasso [:D], probably a Danish illegal child of Pablo´s.

Sorry, I get the point now. The "+" ought to be a single letter, right.

The way the old search worked: you were able to put in just the legible letters in (even without *´s) and it would give you all possible results. It doesn´t work like that anymore. :(

Fro example if I put in jo* *a*iit (or "jo a iit) I get no results. The artist I was checking on is John Saarniit.

thanks admins!

(although I liked this "bug" [:D])

I dont want to miss the occasion and report that there are many real bugs with "+" that should replace a single letter. To be honest it doesnt work at all. Just try "p+casso". Sorry to spoil the party [:I]

Things seem to be getting better, thank you.

Another glitch that remains is that a search wouldn´t give a positive result if you enter only the first and last names of an artist if that artist happens to have a middle name or even just an extra initial. It would have to be written exactly the way it is entered in the findartinfo´s database.

For example enter Walter Heath Williams and he is there, but if enter only Walter Williams he wouldn´t be among results.

The search seems to be back to normal. Thank you admin! :)

Dear all,

We have been following your feedback and fixed all bugs you mentioned. Hope you enjoy the site better now.

Thank you very much for your great support!

Cheers,

Admin

Dear admins,

please look into this. When I try to search "G Wa+s", only the first page is shown correctly. The rest seems empty.

Thanks for the great work, too!

Hi Adrian,

The bug was fixed. Please try again.

Thanks a lot!

Admin

Yes, it does work now! Thanks for a great job!

In case this is relevant: the Dutch Family Name Institute has a similar (same?) function styled for dummies, giving the choice between: 1) is exactly 2) begins with 3) ends with 4) contains 5) advanced. I use it a lot to decypher signatures.

it works! Great job again and thank you. Ad

Hmm... in a search for srqpeter´s artist Calini or Galini both symbols ´+´ and ´*´ produce the same results. The symbol ´+´ that should replace a single letter (as in +alini) gives 45 results, whereas it should not offer more results than the alphabet has letters, should it?

Dear admins, did you make a rollback? Somehow the search routine is like in early december. Please check it.

Hi Adrian,
We got feedback from Arb that searching by symbol "+" and "*" gives same results, so our IT made a small change in which the symbol "+" should be more limited in result.

Please let us know your opinion!

Thanks a lot!

Admin

Hi Vietato,

If you want to search more results you must use other symbols:

1. "*ohnson": You will see all names with several characters before "ohnson" (like A. Dewitt Johnson)

2. " *ohnson* : You will see all names with characters before and/or after ohnson ( like Dewitt Johnson Kat)

3. "+ohnson": You will see all names having only 1 character from a to z before ohnson

Hope it is clear now.

Thanks & Regards

Admin

One result for the search "+ohnson":

It ought to have all these results from the search "johnson":

Admin, one question.. maybe off topic.. do you know if findartinfo have plans on making something out of images. I mean, as it is now, it is ridicoulous. I want to see small images directly at the searchlist, as i can do at artprice. It is a stupid feature needing to click on the result to see picture. I´m sure you would gain a lot making this changes. For example, i had a Max Ernst litho that i needed to sort out some older results on.. it would take me an hour to making anything of it cause as it is now i need to click on every entire result .. another feature is that you should have the possibility to make searches within "max ernst".. as it is now you can only make searches on the entire database.
