First of I have to state this: I know it's a beta.
Just today i was seeing just how good the search was in wmp11. i came up with some interesting and downright bizarre results
I typed in 1:10, thinking maybe you could search by Length
-It came back with 3 hits, which i can't for the life of me figure out why they came back
I typed in "1:10"
-No matches
I glanced through the help, saw you can make advanced queries
I typed in Length:1:10
-it returned every single mp3 I have
I typed in length:"1:10"
-It gave me every single mp3 i have
OK, so I figure I'll test it to conform my suspicion when it doesn't understand a term, it simply returns everything
I typed in length:banana
-it gave me every result
So i go back to the help and read it carefully. Seems you can only search by length in seconds. Yes, that got a "what the hell?" from me too
I typed in length:62
-It worked!
It seems search in wmp11 still needs some work. i think it's cool they added a similar advanced syntax like wds has, and you can use logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) but it's buggy and doesn't always work how you would expect it to
