Forum: Bug Report and Feature Requests

You check ALL check boxes?

Actually, 3 of them.

I don't check the first one to override exclusions because I don't have exclusions.

And I don't check the last one to read reviewed stories only.

When you save a search those options are saved as well...

But so is everything else I selected for that particular search.

I never used the "save search" but maybe I can do a search with the 3 options checked (but nothing else) and do the "save search." Then every time I come back to the Category Search those options will be checked. Then I can fill in the other stuff and do a search (but not the save search).

Anyone know if that will work? I don't want to try it because I don't know what happens when you click on "save search."

ou can't break anything by experimenting.

Thanks

Ok. I have a Saved Search labeled minimum. I have turned off scat and cannibalism and a BUNCH of other stuff. I also checked don't show incomplete. Then I saved. Now I can edit that saved search for robots, or do over, etc. I save it again and execute my search. Tomorrow I edit it again and I turn off the robots before adding harems.
This saves a lot of time, plus my finger is bigger than the buttons, so now I don't have to worry about sometimes clicking both include and exclude some option.

I just tried it. It doesn't do what I want.

I checked the 3 boxes I want SOL to remember and saved it, naming it "basic." What I would like to do now is bring up the search I named "basic" and add search criteria to it and then do the search.

But you can't do that. You have to edit the saved "basic" one to do the search. The next time around I have to undo those changes and put in other criteria. That's more work than simply checking those 3 items each time I do a search.

I would like to be able to save it and then, without editing it, bring it up and add to it. It's the latter that changes with each search.

It could use a 'Save As' button to create a new search.

I tried the feature and had a couple of different problems.

I saved a search that did not include a category selection. The search criteria was saved, but when I recalled the search and tried to execute it, I got a message saying a category was required. That message should have appeared when I tried to save my search.

I added a category and saved the revised search. When I executed the search with 20 results per page, I got 30 results. Page 1 was results 1-20, Page 2 was 21-30, and I got a page 3 which was blank.

Two pages (40 results) was more than enough for 30 results. The problem was the 3rd blank page which should not have had anything to do with the # of results/page.

Thanks.

instead of just 'Save it' now there is an additional button for 'Execute without saving'.

That works great.
Thanks.
