How to ignore string in search ?
« on: September 26, 2010, 02:14:22 PM »

When I was using eMule on Windows, if I wanted to ignore a certain string in a search term, I would precede it by a minus.
For instance, to search for "Human Target" but not for "2010" I would search for "Human Target -2010".

I'm using now aMule 2.2.6 on Ubuntu, and the above does not work either for ed2k or KAD searches.

Going through the forum's archives, I found http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=8693.msg48775#msg48775 which seems to indicate that the minus should work for boolean negation on searches.

Is that a known bug ?




BTW, are there plans to add support for regular expressions in aMule's search ?

Thanks sc0w.

Now that I know which term to Google for, I found the manual at http://wiki.amule.org.
However, it seems that the suggested method of filtering is limited to one string only (whereas the eMule "-" method can filter many strings).

Indeed aMule search is equivalent to eMule where "human target -2010" is the search string,
However, I could not find in http://wiki.amule.org how to search on aMule for "human target -2010 -pilot".
I tried using a "," or ";" as a separator in the filter box, but it didn't work.

Is there a way to filter more than one string in aMule ?

Okay.
Good to know it's not necessary.
