Advanced search work differently depending upon how triggered [#16452]

Post by Barry4679 »

We can start advanced search by
  • #1 using the "advanced search" option, in the dropdown menu in the global search area (magnifying glass)
  • #2 using the funnel icon on the tool bar
You see that they initialise differently here. ... option #2 is better ... in option #1 you have auto-created, and activated, a search criteria line which seems to be trying to match any text field to null, so everything is excluded ... so if I press the "+" button, and add a criteria, you still show me nothing, because you are applying an AND clause using the line that you have auto-created. .... this is confusing ... your line says "click to set" ... I didn't click it, but you have set it anyway.

Option #2 is better ... when I enter, all tracks are still displayed, because I haven't create any filter yet

This option should initialise they same, regardless of how it is triggered.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.
