Re: Filter function not working
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.... ?

Re: Filter function not working
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=msascott_eave wrote:kept trying it and soon nothing would come through at all with 'best match' filter....no matter if date used or not.

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.

Re: Filter function not working
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.scott_eave wrote:ehhhh....
