When using the Advance Search, is there a way to limit results to ones collection, or wishlist?
For example, I wanted to see which discs have closed captions and are in my collection.

When looking at the results of the advanced search, you can of course click the Plus symbol to show in each row whether it's in your collection or not. But this isn't quite what you asked.

Starting from Your Collection front page, one can pick a category from the "Choose" drop-down list and then pick the field value of interest. For instance, one could select Manufacturer from the drop down, then Mitsubishi. Most of the advanced search fields are in the drop down list, but unfortunately, Captioning isn't...

I suspect that this is because the Captioning field in the advanced search page is fairly new and Julien hasn't got round to adding it to the drop-down list on the Your Collection page.

Hang on, it is possible with a modification to the URL.

For captions, 2 is CC, 5 is Teletext, et cetera.

Hello!

For some reason it was coded and pre-added but I never turned it on.

Now it is:

The lists are empty though, let me take a quick look.

It should say cat=caption rather than cat=cc in the URL!

This will require a little more than swapping the category name (it's derived from the table names).

I'll take a look at home tonight.

Doesn't work "OK", but rather works GREAT!!! There is a difference.

Thank you!!! :clap:

Once activated for collection, it's just a little step further to have it on wishlists :-)

Rgds,

While I was at it, I added "captioning" filtering to the shops as well.

Now, that really is useful! Bravo.

Edit: So useful, I've already made a purchase on the strength of it!
