Re: [Scid-users] Search headers

                Hi,

 

when starting to implement I found the searched option under "find games
with flags", where I for understandable reasons never searched them.

Betreff: Search headers

 

                Hello,

 

To the Search Header window I have some comments.

 

Assume I would like to find the wins with White between Kasparov and Karpov.
The natural try working with all other programs I know is to put Kasparov as
white and Karpov as black, ignore the colors and mark only 1-0 as result. In
Scid this instead finds all winning games of Kasparov with white or black
against Karpov. This is not only unusual, it contradicts also the  what is
shown on the search window. There you find "1-0" and not "First listed
player wins".

A fix is very simple, if users share my opinion. 

 

I am able to search for a lot of stuff, a lot of it in my view useless, but
a very obvious one is missing. A use case is for example that I want to
learn a new opening so I navigate through its variations and obviously would
like to find annotated games to get some overview and background
information. I did not find a possibility to search/filter for annotated
games. There seems also no other way except scrolling through the list
window. 

So I will have a look how to add this option.
