[ViX_Misc] Missing Program Description

[birdman]

I think "partial match" is, at least, rather ambiguous.

It's never been an issue for me. But then I have implemented search algorithms in assembler (although it was much simple to write virtually the same code in C 7 years later).

Perhaps instead of "partial match" this option should be called something like "contains" or "includes".

Sounds reasonable. I'd prefer "contains".

Maybe New: should be treated as a configurable option (strip it off), both in autotimers and search.

And what about Nouveua:, Neu:, Nieuw:, Νέος:, Ny:, Nuevo:, Newydd:, etc? (with apologies to any language that has a female programme).

It just complicates things when manually removing it isn't difficult.

You would have to have a configurable list of prefixes and suffixes to strip off.
But I'm not seriously suggesting that would be the way to go for OpenViX EPG search.

Not difficult, but a real pain when it could be done automatically for you every time if you choose such an option.

Maybe the option could be the text you actually want removing, then no what abouts to worry about.

There may be people who have an EPG in multiple languages who would wish to remove a variety of them.

Lots of key presses for them to put up with then at the moment. 25+ to remove Newydd: for example.

Let's forget it, making things easier appears to be off limits.
