| Posted: | | | | Hi all,
Forgive me if this is a silly question, but I did not find an answer to this: Sometimes I want to search for a movie when I only know part of the title. There seems to be no way to search for a part of the title if it is not the beginning of the title.
What am I doing wrong? How can I find all movies that contain, f.e. "Bond" in the title?
Thanks in advance! |

| Posted: | | | | my dvdpro wont work at the moment, but there is an easy answer to this - just not sure *exactly* how to do it. But it seems a better answer is the checkbox next to the Title in search pane. The checkbox exists just for this question, to match any part of a title, not just from the start. I use it all the time, esp with foreign titles and skipping the first part of a title that has an umlaut or something like that (or in case "The " is needed or something like that at the start.) |

MarEll's instructions, which i repeated above, do automatically check the substring box for Title searching when DVDp starts. It may not be obvious but that's the result you get from following those steps. | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

Follow these steps:
*Clear all filters. *Check the substring checkbox *Save the filterset as substring.flt *Create a text file on your c: drive called commands.txt *Type the following into the file: Loadfilterset substring.flt *Save the file, right click on your shortcut to DVD Profiler and click Properties. *Add the following at the end of the 'Target' field: /commandfile=c:\commands.txt
Every time you start Profiler now the box should be checked. Even with that, be careful to what you enter in your database. You may have bad surprise if you want to find Taxi 4 or Seven, just typing Taxi or Seven, with what is in the main database. | | | Images from movies |

| Posted: | | | | whatever works - works. I am assuming the main difference is between jumping to the next occurrence of a string 'verses' collapsing all dvd entries down to just the titles with a specific string (and in the dvdpro app exactly where you would expect to see the results.) |
