Searching the request list


By the way, when your search brings up too many requests, sometimes you need to search for two words. But when you search for two words, the default is to pull up all songs with one of the two words. But, you can use the % sign as a space.

For example, if you want to find Love Me Do, if you search for the word "Love" you'll get 872 results. But if you search for "Love%Me" you only get 90 results. And if you search for "Love%Me%Do" you'll get 5 results.

Super cool Mz! I didn't realize that would work. That will make finding a particular song much faster!

Awesome!

That is SO cool!

I just tried it with THE POWER OF LOVE

I searched for Power%of%love and got only five results, all songs ACTUALLY titled The Power Of Love!

YOU ROCK MZ!

I'll have to add a note about that to the search page.

You know, I had tried so many different things to get it to do that.

I had tried using " at the ends, I tried putting the song title in )'s, nothing worked.

Who woulda thunk of a percent sign.

Well, I guess Mz would have.

But you know who NEVER would have figured it out? That Molly girl! Mz can run CIRCLES around her!

Ok, I'll admit it, I didn't find that out totally on my own. I was checking out some other options for the station and saw someone else had a request list and they tell their listeners to use % sign. So I tried it here, and it worked.
