[edit] Search for

type here the search. You can also use Wildcards.

Rules for simple search:

• It's always a "and" search. This means, all word(part)s have to exist for a match.
• Searching is always partial. olympi finds olympia and olympic.
• To find whole words or phrase only they have to be enclosed in "".
• Placeholders for single chars are marked by ?. th?n finds than and then.
• Limits to word beginnings/endings are done by putting a " before or after the word. st?rm" finds storm or thunderstorm. "st?rm finds storm or storming.
• If something should be right at the beginning of a field you put a ^ before it. ^bad finds "Bad times" but not "The bad times"
• If something should be at the end of a field you put a $ after it. spongebob$ finds "Happy spongebob" but not "Happy spongebob squarepants".

[edit] Search in

• Title searching EPG-Title of a broadcast entry for the search word.
• Subtitle searching (EPG)subtitle of a broadcast entry for the search word.
• Description searching the description of a broadcast entry for the search word.

EPG Search handle all 3 fields (Title, event, description) as one (if the fields are selected). You can search for phrase which are distributed over the 3 fields. Please note: "Las Vegas" and "5th season" needs a "*" in the non regex Mode (Las Vegas* 5th season) to work.

• ignore case
• use regular expressions In the background regular expressions are used. The normal user does not need to care about that and simply inputs his/her search phrase. Experts can have a lot of fun with building neat regular expressions.
