How does the Your TV Links search
and how do I do an advanced search???
When you type in a search, Your TV Links checks all entries from all sites and
scans thier link name. It then returns the results sorting
them by the shortest search first. So if you search: House
-- Your TV Links will return House MD before it returns something
like
Desperate Housewives. This
should give the closest results. Note that all searches are NOT case sensitive
and the only valid search characters are numbers and letters (quotes and hyphens
can be used to do phrase and negative searches).
Now if you want to get real fancy and specific, Your TV Links supports phrasing and negative
words. Some examples of how this works:
Phrasing (put the phrase in quotes):
"Season 4" :: This returns all searches with
the exact phrase "Season 4".
"Season 4" Lost :: This returns all searchs with the exact phrase
"Season 4 " AND have lost.
Negatives (put a minus sign in front of a word
or phrase):
Lost Season -4 :: This will return all searches
with the words Lost Season and DO NOT have the word 4 in the search...so all seasons except 4.
Negatives and phrasing to get REALLY specific:
"Lost Season" -1 -3 -4 :: This would find any lost season
except 1, 3, and 4.
Real life example..looking for an episode of
The OC:
1. I am looking for an episode of The OC. So I search the
OC. This gets stuff like the ocean, the locust,
the rock, etc.
2. I make it a phrase to be more exact and search "the oc".
This gets me all of the oc including shows and movies
3. Now I try "the oc" season and this gets me close...but
it's still getting all seasons.
4. So finally I search "the oc" season -1 and this pulls
up all episodes that ARE NOT season 1
