(...) Until there's an "advanced" search with more options, one thing you can do is something like this: (URL) put in whatever year you like). In the meantime we should also add some links on the entry page to specific years. --Todd (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  RE: Announcing new set database
 
Hi Guys, Thanks for the improvements! One issue I've had for awhile is how do I search for all sets in a given year? If I type in 1980 (as a year) for example, I get set 1980 (Elves) made in '91. Thanks, Mark (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) Hmm. I see an en-dash there (not a hyphen and not an em-dash but an en-dash). That doesn't show up for you? What browser/OS were you viewing with? It's using entity – there, which is kind of a Microsoft-ism in character set terms, but I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
Looks great! One bug and one suggestion: (1) The bug is that there is a missing range indicator at the top of a listing, e.g. go to (URL) and follow the quick link to trains. The first screen is OK --- it has "First 20 of 224 Set Matches". But then (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) That's when I grab my clue stick and don my taunting hat, and hunt down the page author. :-, (...) If the frame name is relatively unique, then it's really no issue. If I have a dozen Netscape windows up, but only one has the frame name (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) I guess that's an issue if the frame names are common things like "main" and "display" and "gunkie_foo". :-) What happens when the frame name contains, say, the site's name as a prefix? (...) It would be trivial, yah, but when it was like that (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) Except that, due to my insane hatred for frames (;-), I'll actually break out of 'em and use d&d browsing instead, since Netscape will remember frame names across several browser windows. It's really no biggie; I can browse the new format just (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) Ahh, I see. Well, sounds like what you really need then is a dual-frame or tri-frame option. Then you wouldn't even have to drag the link -- just click it. --Todd (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) Nothing big, really. An example is to have one window open for a TOC, and another window open for the chapters; to change chapters you drag the hyperlink from the TOC window to the chapter window. The benefit is keeping the browsers' window (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Announcing new set database
 
(...) I think there are several Europe-only sets in the DB and they aren't marked with a language code. Most names there tend to be English. --Todd (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
