Error in search
« on: June 07, 2023, 02:03:42 PM »
Player name #46 Lars R

If i search for:

Lars
Lars r

It doesn’t find the player

If I search for #46 he shows up

It doesn’t happen with other players, there I can search for everything and if the words is in the name the player shows in search

Edit: it happens random with some names

The "Name" column is constructed from your choice of how to display names, as defined on the Preferences tab (press the Name format button).  As this is not a real field, searching actually occurs on the First name, Last name, and Nickname fields. What do those fields contain?  Also, check the preference "Strict searching".  It might be affecting your search results.

We only use the Field “Nick Name”, thats why Im surprised that the search is working different with some names

Press Ctrl+F to "Find".  On the Players, Database, and Stats tab this will show/reveal the search field and focus it.  There is an X button on the right to close it.  On player windows (Add Players to Tournament, Buy-in Players, etc) Ctrl+F will toggle the Find feature (shows and hides it).




The Name Format button is on the Preferences tab:




Strict Searching is also on the Preferences tab, in the Behavior category:




With Strict Searching enabled, each word you type in the Find field must be present somewhere in the player's information to be "found".  With Strict Searching DISabled, if any of the words you type match the player information they will be "found".  You probably want this off unless you're getting too many hits when you search.

Finally, also on the Preferences tab, in the Player Detail Fields category, make sure you have the appropriate fields checked for searching:
