"No results"? Can't believe it.

Post by Robertasman »

I am looking for two-to-four part male voice anthems for Easter (especially Easter Vigil) anthems in either English or Latin. I put in a multiquery and got "no results."

Which I find hard to believe. What did I do wrong?

Could you please specify which items you selected?

The Multi-category search does not always work consistently, due to changes occurred on the MediaWiki software that runs the whole CPDL website, and on two MediaWiki extensions that implement the Multi-category search. They've all evolved recently, and evolutions have not been always fully compatible.

Sometimes "no results" is simply a consequence of having selected categories that are mutually exclusive, so no items exist that belong to all categories. However, we've also experienced cases where it was just a problem with the software and with the extensions mentioned above.

I expanded Sacred and clisked on Easter. Under parts I cllicked two part, three part, and four part. Under Languages I cliscked English and Latin; then I ran the quiry. "No results."

What gives?

I got exactly 2 results - with the query as described, but also with the query for "Easter", "2-parts", "English".

With "Easter", "4-part", "Latin" I got 69 results.
With "Easter", "4-part", "English" I got 116 results.

It appears that one now has to specify only one choice (or zero choices) in each group.
