Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Standard Search results

A FTS for beet sym 5 returns the 4 different versions at the top of
the Albums results, but a search for beet sym 1 gets only one version
although there are 5 in the library.
Is there some kind of negative weighting for search results with 1 in
them ?


Ok, here's some of my findings:

- hits on the most important values (title) need a higher weight. Das 
Leid von der Erde comes with a massive amount of lyrics and 
descriptions. The search term 1 alone has  1200 hits in there. A 
weight of 100 on title matches can't compensate for this...


- even with a much higher weight you would get more other symphonies 
than no. 1, because you eg. have albums like Symphony No. 9 - Orchestra 
of the 18th Century, which would result in the same number of hits in 
the title, thanks to the 18th century.


One suggestion for you would be to use no 1 (in quotes) in the search 
term. This would put the five versions of Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in 
the top 6 results.


I'll need to think about how to further improve weighing of the results 
to get better matches. Thanks for you file. This gives me another great 
playground to work with.

Michael, any thoughts on how (or if) you might be able to provide both
the old, simple substring searching and still make FTS available to
users? As Phil and myself discussed, the simple search is still the
preferred way to get to something without a lot of extraneous search
results. But FTS may still be handy for finding more obscure things,
such as finding a note in a comment, or words from lyrics.

Quotes work. I had not tried them. 

A search for - beet sym no. - lists all the symphonies.
moz pi 21 - goes straight there!

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs

2015-02-11 Thread dasupergrover

Hi Michael,

Ever since I've upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04, I've been using the nightly
branch of LMS.

Before I've always used the logitech versions, but apparantly that's not
working on 14.04 :-(

In the current version (and also all nightlies before), I'm experiencing
a problem, when I try to see the context menu of an item. This could be
a song, artist, album, whatever.

Whenever I click on the title in the webinterface, or on the + sign on
my android squeezecontroller or on the duet controller, the cpu load
rises to 100%, and the only way to get LMS going again is rebooting the
service.

I have no clue where to start looking for errors, could you help me
solving this problem?

Frank

Michael, any thoughts on how (or if) you might be able to provide both
the old, simple substring searching and still make FTS available to
users?


Thoughts, yes. I'll have to verify this, though. But I think if you 
start your search by entering a quote, then the resulting query should 
get very close to the simple substring search. Could you please test this?



As Phil and myself discussed, the simple search is still the
preferred way to get to something without a lot of extraneous search
results.


Phil's comments were based on a buggy version of the search. 
Unfortunately he didn't verify his search after I fixed the sorting. I'm 
still convinced that if the weighting of the results is done correctly, 
then the results of the fts should be as good as the simple text search. 
The additional results added to the tail shouldn't hurt. Who cares about 
the millions of hits google shows up for any random search? Most users 
will check the first one or two pages and ignore the long tail.



But FTS may still be handy for finding more obscure things,
such as finding a note in a comment, or words from lyrics.


Doesn't the Advanced Search cover the obscure use case?

Here are some search screen grabs of searches mentioned by Philip and JJ
- the first 2 are search from the main menu
17349   If the search is shortened to - love beat -
you get a few more results
17350

This is a search song for hur lov sup
17351

Now that I better understand the use of quotes, I think this search is
excellent.

LMS 7.9.0 - 0.63.20150205git1423147268 @ Sun 8 Feb on VortexBox, 150,000

Please check server.log. You'll find it's path in Settings/Information 
in the web UI.


Are you seeing this issue in 7.9?
