The search engine was not developed by my programmer -- it is a generic package that my programmer purchased and inserted into the shell of his custom developed package so he is not really interested in delving into someone elses program to make changes. I mentioned yesterday that I have had trouble with apostrophe but I have also had problems with quotation marks as Brian pointed out above.]]> Tue, 23 Dec 2008 17:06:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20164&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20164 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20162&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20162 Author: Brian W.

Wow, Pat's right. Any word with an apostrophe will not be found.

I guess what I was saying before about the phrase search not working isn't quite accurate -- it will find whole phrases. But what's irritating is that it not only highlights the phrase in yellow in the results, but highlights every single word from that phrase, individually, that is used anywhere else in the thread. It makes it difficult to spot the phrase you searched for, especially if it's a long thread.

Also, if revisions are ever made to the board's search engine, it would be nice if a search will bring up the exact post or at least the page where your results are. I can't count how many times I've looked for info on a song, only to find that it's "somewhere" in a 20-page thread.]]> Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:46:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20162&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20162 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20161&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20161 Author: EdisonLite

Pat, can you ask your technician to fix the quote problem in the Search Engine? If it can't be fixed, can you make a note under the search engine that says to not use quotes. For people not interested in Diana Ross single versions, they will not check this thread and will not have this info.]]> Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:18:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20161&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20161 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20159&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20159 Author: Pat Downey

Underground Dub I just used the search feature to search for the phrase "Ready For Love" under Topic and it found the previous thread referenced by Jim. I also searched for the phrase "The Boss" and found the previous thread referenced by Jim. For some reason I have always had trouble with the apostrophe character with the software used for the database and associated search engine such that when I search for "Gettin' Ready For Love" the search engine did not find that string when I used the search for this phrase under Topic. ]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:23:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20157&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20157 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20143&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20143 Author: Brian W.

Yeah, I've had that happen too -- been told "We've already answered that question," and then I do another search and I STILL come up with nothing!

The search engine of this site is defective. I've mentioned before that the "phrase" search feature absolutely does not come up with phrases... it works the same as the "find all words" search. So if you're searching for the phrase "So Close," it will come up with every thread that has both the words "close" and "so" in it -- which is a LOT. I wish we could get that fixed.]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 02:37:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20143&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20143 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20136&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20136 Author: jimct

Sorry for the "Ron" mixup, Underground Dub; I had a brain spasm between you and "crapfromthepast!" :)

Who is Ron and where are these answers hidden? I spent 45 minutes searching threads before I posted, honest!

Thanks for the response. Does anyone own the "Gettin' Ready For Love" 45 who could confirm if it contains the Baby It's Me LP version or the remix? :)

Ron, I thought we'd long ago posted the answers to all of your new Diana Ross timing questions to the Board, and I found that we had. So you may wanna browse the old posts for next time, my friend. :) But since you sound in a big hurry, I will summarize the old posts for you here. From the commercial 45's:

-Last Time I Saw Him: listed (2:45); actual (2:48)(the only db appearance for this song longer than (2:48) is a (3:38) "complete recording session" version on the "newer" Motown Anthology CD; db has the Command Compact Performances v as running (2:40), :08 shorter than the 45)
-Gettin' Ready For Love: listed (2:55); actual (2:45) (db makes no distinction between Anthology/Baby It's Me versions)
-The Boss: listed & actual (3:59) (Pat says some commercial copies show a listed time of 3:34) (only "The Boss" CDv runs as long as (3:58); all other db CDs do run slightly shorter, as you note)
-Touch Me In The Morning: there were 2 different stock 45s for this song released in 1973, so which one is the "single version" is certainly up for interpretation:
-listed (3:15); actual (3:26)
-listed (3:51); actual (3:53)

Also, everything I've come across states that the longer "Touch Me In The Morning" is the single version... can anyone else confirm/deny this?

Thanks!]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 15:19:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4041&PID=20130&title=diana-ross-single-versions-on-cd#20130
