Hello,
some time ago I published a change to allow to search for an annotator of a
game. There was a bug included, because unset Annotator is passed to the
backend as string with zero length and not as NULL value.
I have appended again the full feature as patch.
Regards,
Gerd

Betreff: AW: Search headers
Hello,
I have implemented a basic support for the Annotator tag in scid.
In 4.2.2 the annotator is imported but then completely invisible. It seems
that the open source community does not like to invest money in software
neither in game databases. 130.000 games in my database are commented, but
the quality of the comments range from "Chessbase" or "Bangiev" (e.g. it is
better to read the games without comments) up to "Anand" and "Kaparov". So
when I replay a game I need to know who has done this work.
With the changes appended to this mail it is possible to search for an
annotator and his name is visible in the pgn window. I did not change the
database index, so search is a bit slow. It grows with the number of
annotated games in the database and takes for my one around 10 seconds.
I have added a info file to the changes, which should allow to include the
changes to any version of the main source and of course it would be nice to
find it there. The search header window starts to get a bit overloaded. So
it may also worth to consider to move some options like color of last move
or the players titles into the options window, which makes an advanced
search options window out of it.

Gerd Lorscheid

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.
Regards,
Gerd Lorscheid
