Thread: SA-CD.NET Imposed Database Search Limitation?

Did something changed recently for one performing database searches from SA-CD.NET? I use to be able to pull very useful and comprehensive lists by recording or manufacturer label. For example, If I wanted lists of SACD's made my SONY or TELARC, for example, I could derive the entire library. TELARC has a SACD library of 172 SACDs.. now I can only get a max list of 100, or whatever I am searching for. So the question is why the imposed limit, and can this be corrected?

Your request will fall on deaf ears. It's already been decided by the powers that be that this will no longer be available.

What kind of search do you mean exactly?

If you click on "Titles" and select Telarc in the list of labels, 172 titles will be displayed

I was successfully able to replicate your search suggestion. One has to FIRST go to "titles" not from the search or home screen. I had forgotten how I originally did this and much appreciated for helping me find my way again. Thanks again!

If you type a word into the search field on the upper right corner of the page, the number of search results will indeed be limited to 100. I don't know how long this restriction has existed. I usually do text searches which generate less results.

I remember using this facility a long time ago (>5y) and it still had a maximum of 100 titles being returned. ("Mahler" without any other terms was always an easy way to get a long list!)
