are there any keywords for searching for a specific series type?

I'd have thought "type:catalogue" but that doesn't work.

hawke: Well, it does work for me.

chirlu`: not me.

chirlu`: it finds lots of series which are not catalogues

oh, never mind

Fucking retarded "or" by default

Ah.

because shitty search is better than good search, apparently.

oh. jeez, I'm dumb. all the times I've used "AND" in a query, and it didn't click that it would otherwise default to "OR"

looking for some opinion here: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/31561619

I believe the edit clobbers the existing data

CallerNo6: yeah, I'm pretty sure that Musicbrainz's search is the only one ever that does that

(because it is a terrible idea)

don't let the good be the enemy of the shitty!

or is it the other way around?

hawke: Since OR is the default for Lucene, I massively doubt it.

It would mean

*everyone* overrides the default, except the MB search server.

chirlu`: Name another search engine that ORs by default

Google?

Nope.

Admittedly it gives a warning then (“the following results did not contain all search terms”).

I mean I guess they kind of fall back to OR, but that's only if they can't find anything where all search times apply

*terms

The MB search ranks results containing all search terms higher, too.

So your “opera OR type:catalogue” first lists catalogues with “opera” in their name, before continuing with results that only match one.

sorry, but the idea that when I search for 'opera' and 'type:catalogue', I actually want *every single catalog series in MB* is just pure insanity

I think most people, who are used to google-ish searches, would expect AND results followed by OR results.

And that’s exactly what you get.

The first results of the OR query are identical to “all results of the AND query”.

So I have difficulty to see why the default behaviour is fucking, retarded, shitty, and terrible.

Right, so that's good. Like you said, a divider saying "below here, results for OR" would be nice.

Oh, and insane. :-)

Except google is actually intelligent about its search results.

it doesn't give you every single page on the internet as a result for every single query

Try playing with netflix's search, if you haven't. They so badly want to show you /something/ that I don't think it's possible to get a "0 results found".

Crap, I wish I'd saved some of my experiments. They were hilarious.

hehe

hallo Freso? or any super duper editors

have good day/night

under which artist should a single track like https://soundcloud.com/zedd/diddy-ass-on-the-fl... be added? diddy or zedd?

i would say Diddy, and add a relation remixed by Zedd

ok, thank you

zas: should the main relation be “remixed” and then the sub relation “artist”?

Have a look at http://musicbrainz.org/relationship/7950be4d-13...

zaz: ok, i can only find artist -> remixER, not * -> remixED BY. Am I looking at the wrong place?

CatQuest: i have tested Firefox to bypass javascript image visualisers like lightbox… there is no equivalent for opera’s « right‑click, o » (you can use t or w instead but it’s less good) but « middle‑click » works the same !

btw i have just had a mac for my work and installed opera 12, what was the problem with it ? it seems as good as on pc, no ?

CatQuest: ↗

sort name question. for "Fred E. for the World" should that be "for the World, Fred E." as sort name?

That's an artist or?

World, Fred E. for the another possibility maybe strictly following guidelines

yes a person

drummer for R Band (a band I was in 1990s)

I mean, it's not really a name + surname I guess (unless his surname is For the World)

no it is not.

So I'd just have sortname be the same as name

oh Fred E. for the World as sort name too?

Yup

okay, but for "The Amazing One" I entered "Amazing One, The" that is right, right?

ty for the help

oh wait one more please, the name of band is R Band. I put sort name of "Band, R" because is a pun on "our" which would be moved. But it maybe should be R Band sort name

Yeah. Articles always sort last

so would R Band become "Band, R" ?

When you're dealing with a person, Name + Surname, then sort is Surname, Name. But in other cases, it doesn't matter

I'd just do R Band :)

so "R Band" as sort name is okay? YAY okay gonna go fix.

I hope I'm doing okay. Adding lotta stuff to "The Bicycling Guitarist" artist. If an editor is subscribed to my edits, then my stuff is being reviewed? If anyone has a minute to check my edits, I'd aprreciate feedback on how I'm doing or suggestions what to do next.

TheBikeGuitarist: I really dig you bro

yay ty derwin

TheBikeGuitarist: I might be kinda faded right now but srsly, I can completely relate to "I feel calm while doing [x] and [y]"

where x and y are not really THAT related lol

wish me luck, a producer on America's Got Talent is sponsoring me and submitted one of my videos for online audition. She says I'll know in a week or two whether or not they want to fly me to L.A. for celebrity judge round

with my bike and guitar of course

is howard stern still a judge?

rest assured, if my vote counts

I am dialing that number on your behalf

dunno. don't watch tv. but I have been discovered by one of the producers there.

yay ty

might be in two or three weeks. dunno their schedule. dunno if I'll be selected.

I ran home today while using a hand gyro, which is a weirdly uh

combinatorially rhythmic thing

I have to speed up to make the light

but I have to keep the hand/arm rhythm

angular momentum

yeah. obviously the notes aren't compelled by conservation of forces

but I guess I can imagine the feels bro

and the earth and universe are part of the song

because any bumps I ride over contribute vibrato to the strings

so I am jammin' with mother earth and it is contributing to the music

have you seen the two documentaries of dude

unexpected vibrato too, plus there's the bicycle noise when I am coasting, that freewheel clicking sound

who circumnavigated on bike?

no never heard of, but believe

the man who biked the world

I have gone probably a hundred thousand miles doing what i do, four times around the world

he also cycled the americas

100k is amazing

made an estimate of 10,000 about fifteen years ago, but past couple years realized I made stupid math error, counting hours and forgetting to multiply by ten for miles

last year I probably skateboarded 1000 miles lol

all on the same bicycle, The Minstrel Cycle. Can that be part of my musicbrainz entry, that and Annie the Anniversary Model Stratocaster only guitar I've had since late 1980s?

The Bicycling Guitarist with Annie and The Minstrel Cycle (full name0

I'm not sure it covers specific instruments

schwinn ten-speed as an effects device lol

on my FB they are listed as band members, and each has their own FB page.
