I think the search engine results have recently changed. And it hasn't gotten any better.

When searching for example "Animals" (one of my favorite bands) I now get a gigantic list of items. To the left of it all the sections. From that I choose Records and CDs and then the list becomes a bit more manageable, but the first ten items concerns the album Animals by Pink Floyd. I then have to scroll further down until I come across an item from my favorite band. I then open that item and then click on Animals, The (main artist). Only then do I get all items in the old view. These are a lot of actions and clicks and that doesn't make me happy.

Previously I searched for Animals and got:

Animals, The

Eric Burdon and The Animals

Party Animals etc.

Clicking on the top one immediately yielded all items. so 1 enter and 1 click.

Can that last system be restored again?

When I search for Animals, in the column Found catalog, categories include Animals, The
Click on this and you will immediately receive everything from The Animals (695 items).

@Collectioneur

Aha, that has changed. You will now immediately enter the items and not the sections.

@Fazerco

I knew that. What mattered to me is that I now have to perform more actions. I often search from the main window.

Incidentally, if I do it via the rubric, I don't immediately get to the items, but to the parts of the rubric.

I mean that we have known for a long time here that searching for one letter gives crazy incomplete results.

The same is if I want to enter wybertje at the sugar packets, and the foldout starts with sugar scoop with wybertje..... It seems to me that if I start with the W I first get all W's, and no S...

No, he doesn't. You can type in any word or group of words that should appear somewhere in the field, and he will then show the results alphabetically.

By the way, there has been a bug for five years, because at some point you can no more scrolling through that dropdown.

So that is a difficult problem, because I also came across that you cannot scroll further. And so that list becomes quite polluted with new entrys.

If I want to search for something in the search bar (e.g. Trivial Pursuit) in a different section than probably (in my case in the Records section) and you have ever looked at the auction results last time, you may get the answer that he has not found any auction lots. All fine if you absolutely want to search in them, but I wanted to search in the Catalog! Normally if you had not clicked on that auction tab, it will probably also say that he has not found anything, but at least gives a suggestion. Not now! : (Furthermore, I now get the idea that I am only searching in the auction catalog and I don't want that!

Why would you want to look for Trivial Pursuit in the record section?

If you are not sure whether it is in a certain section, start on the home page

No, I have too, if you have searched something first, then another search apparently assumes that you do that in the plates (or whatever). You actually have to start with a completely clean slate first. Somewhere something is being remembered underwater ...

@Arco, @ Dick52. The problem with single-character search terms has now been resolved. In the unlikely event that you still encounter it, please let us know as soon as possible. Thanks for reporting.

@Morits, @DisneyMeentwijck. It is true that this functionality has been built in this way, it is indeed checked whether in which section you were or were last sat. Indeed, this doesn't really feel natural and will be fixed soon.

And also keep the question whether you want to continue searching in the entire Catalog, because that also prevents a lot of switching.

I also find the Do you mean .... ? Especially if you have typed something wrong or do not remember the name exactly, it is very useful.

@ Jilles : Very simple! I was adding items to my collection and I use the search engine a lot these days. I then leave the search page open and open the links in a different tab. That is also useful for me to keep an overview if I want to see several categories.

@CataWiki Team: Thank you and we eagerly await the result. For now, take the extra step by going to the section.
