Included in your Fresh subscription.
Multiword queries.
You can now combine several words in your query, in the Summary, Cast, Hosts field:
separating the terms by a comma, you will unite them by a logical operator OR (which means vote, app will look for descriptions containing vote or app).
separating the terms by a space, you will unite them by a logical operator AND (which means vote app will look for descriptions containing both words, together or separately, without considering the order).
for a perfect match, you can also search for an exact combination of words using quotes: the query "vote with an app" will look for descriptions containing those words together, in that particular order. It will not return the shows whose description contains those words separately or in a different order.
Fine selection of Digital platforms.
Beyond the basic choice of platform in the advanced search (TV, TV+Digital, Digital),
once you choose Digital you can now go further and fine tune your search selecting the type(s)
of Digital platform you are interested in: SVOD platforms such as Netflix and Amazon, Broadcaster platforms such as BBC iPlayer or ABC iview, Transactional VOD platforms such as iTunes, Apps such as Go90…
Multiple combinations of topics, premiere & season premiere dates...
In the Advanced Search form, for all fields you can select / unselect items of interest: by using the buttons None and All to select all choices or none, then tick/untick the boxes as required.
Select multiple Topics and combine them with the AND/OR logical button that appears as soon as you choose more than one Topic. You can look for all programs containing the topic Changing Lives AND Family, you can also look for programs containing the topic Changing Lives OR Family.
Select multiple Status (Premiere date, Season Launch, Season Order…) at the left bottom of the Advanced Search,
and combine them with the AND/OR logical button that appears as soon as you choose more than one type of status:
for instance, if you are interested in listing all shows with a premiere OR season premiere over the month of October,
you can enter the criteria Premiere between 01/10/2017 and 31/10/2017,
then click on the button ADD and combine this with the new condition
Season launch between 01/10/2017 and 31/10/2017. If you leave the button OR active (in blue),
your search will return all shows with a premiere OR season premiere over the period.
