"WishList" Weirdness - Downloads begin unwanted.
 
I'm using LM 2.4.4 Pro.

If I add a couple of 'WishList" search terms, as expected they show up in the Downloads box within quotation marks .

So far so go.

Then I search on something else, and download one of the found files....


The "WishList" items: LOSE their quoted search terms, replaced by random files in the above just search list of files, and begin downloading these random files.

This happens everytime, and is easily reproducible.

Anyone else notice this ?



:confused: :confused:

That's what the wishlist downloaders are meant for. Once one of them finds a file that matches your search keywords, it will automatically download it.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough....

The random files that are being downloaded are not even close to my original wishlist search keywords.....

Maybe this is related to general issues with search keywords.... ever notice that is you search on something like "Microsoft Office", you get tons of results with do not have these words? Why?

That's because your search criteria aren't just matched against the file name, but against the metadata and against the file path.

So if you are searching for a file called foo you might receive a file bar as result because it is stored as C:\foo\bar on the host returning the query hit.

Thanks for clarifying with the foo example...

Just for kicks... go ahead and search on "******". Do you think that the additional hundreds of files, all those one work files, eist on some HOST's C:\Program Files\******\ folder? Why would a HOST share that directory.
