[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1114226, member: 82144"] I intend it for advanced/expert users. Simply don't use it if you think it is too technical. The simple text filtering (like the current TVE 3 filter) still works. ;) [edit: To be clear, the simple text filtering only searches the channel name (same as TVE 3). Not very powerful. That is exactly why I felt we needed something more for advanced filtering.] What doesn't make sense about it? The "type" part enables you to specify which channel property you are filtering by. Otherwise there's no way to know if you were intending to match the channel name, provider, channel number, group etc. [edit: To be clear, using "tuning details" instead of "type" is not possible due to the space. Most of the other properties match the column names (eg. name, number, group, provider etc.).] Yep, they probably are geeky... but like I said, this function is intended for advanced users. Rather than just saying "it is too technical" and "just too geeky", can you suggest a better way to implement this?

By the way, here is the complete list of "commands": & = conditional AND | = conditional OR : = contains < = less than <= = less than or equal == = equal != = not equal >= = greater than or equal > = greater than [/QUOTE]
