Hi
It seems I can`t find any search options on my MediaPortal installation.
I tried to figure out how to switch views, but couldn`t find anything where to change it. (in config I tried but it didnt affect the GUI).
Are there Search Options Available ?
How to activate them ?
A Media Portal without searching the whole database would be somehow strange...and I can`t believe bevause of such a nice piece of software I saw until now.

Additional Information:
I try to rip all my cd`s into own foldern, so each album is in one folder, and i only use FLAC Files...

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Christian

You might want start reading the wiki regarding Setup and Using MyMusic.

Also have a look at the GlobalSearch plugin

HI
Thanks for the hints
Thought that the global search will be displayed in the main MyMusic area, so i didnt find it after installing.
Well, in fact that would be nice...

Anyway, now this thing starts to get interesting

well it can be included.
open mediaportal.xml with a text editor
find the section "musicmisc"

insert:

<entry name="useglobalsearch">yes</entry>

now when you press the Search button and the GlobalSearch Plugin is installed, it'll be used instead of the default search.

Hi, thanks for your help, sounds like this would be the one i search for...
But in fact i didnt find the file you mentioned.
there are only 4 xml files called defaultmusicvievs, defaultvideoviews, defaultprogramviews and MediaPortalDirs, in none of those i found an entry calles musicmisc

Thanks
Christian

In your MP folder.. c:\program files\team mediaportal\mediaportal\..

in that dir you should find mediaportal.xml
