I would say never: the parsers (both 'http' and 'mobile') are already prepared to see a "main movie/person page" as the result of a query, and they should handle this case gracefully. There were some bugs in the past (and maybe there are some more now, since the code was not used by a long time), and so I thought it was simpler to just make the account always return a list. > I mean, how often do you, as a user, go to IMDb and do a search, > and get wrongfully redirected? I think the server is smart enough to present a list, when multiple similar titles/names are available. After all, I think I'll revert back the account to use "redirect only when there is a single close match"; being that the default, it would also simply debugging cases were the account is not used (or another one is set). A - very minor - drawback is that I don't like very much to have only one item as the result of a query (also: 'local' and 'sql' always try to return a long list of results, if any), but this may be just a matter of taste. :-) Lets see if someone complains for this change. ;-) -- Davide Alberani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
