Filter function not working

[scott_eave]

just tried it....albeit only a few times and seems to be working better.

will keep at it......

thx for working this.

[scott_eave]

kept trying it and soon nothing would come through at all with 'best match' filter....no matter if date used or not.

as soon as I went back to 'distance' filter many items appeared.

seems the fix it blocking all results now.... ?

Do you have an example search link? The one you posted before seems to be giving results, at least for me: http://www.searchtempest.com/search?sea ... subcat=msa

'titles"

no 'titles' (all other parameters unchanged)

Ahhhhhhh ok give it a try now!

[scott_eave]

seems to be working....

I agree with an earlier post of yours....the Yahoo 'best match' filter still seems to miss a number of items using the 'title' filter.....

is this a situation where 'code' guys just can't leave well enuf alone ?

periodically the thing works great, then all of a sudden it becomes essentially worthless......grrrrrrr.

[scott_eave]

ehhhh....

I would say the fix did not take...or Yahoo is at it again....

using 'best match' .....in musical instruments.....'titles' only....

It was more of a partial work-around than a fix, but yes, I noticed as well that it still not filtering properly. I have sent them another bug report. Likely will have to wait a few more weeks for a response. Honestly I would suggest just sticking with the Google-powered sorts. The only reason I keep this one around is to have a fallback in case something goes catastrophically wrong on Google's end.

too bad....as their best match is faster and more efficient than the other filters. oh well......
