Confusing auto-search result (solved)

[bgowland]

I was about to post this as a NEWA_AutoSearch support question but after staring at it for about 10 minutes I finally worked out what had triggered it.

I manually run NEWA_AutoSearch once a week and then trim out what I don't want. I spotted this set to record on both Channel 4 and 4+1 so figured it had to be an auto-search result but couldn't figure out why. I don't have many search entries and none seemed to fit...

Code:

Ishqiya

Naseeruddin Shah is probably best known to western audiences for his appearances
in Monsoon Wedding and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (as a sword-wielding
Captain Nemo), but much of his venerable career has been spent in Bollywood cinema.
In this action drama, he brings undoubted charisma to bear as a thief who goes on
the run with his nephew after a botched job. The two men then end up falling for a
friend's widow (Vidya Balan), who involves them in her own machinations. It's
undemanding fare but watchable, nonetheless.

Then I realised one of my search strings is for the programme "QI" - two letters which don't normally appear together in the English language (i.e., the title of the film 'Ishqiya'). It probably explains why a Chinese film appeared in my pending recordings a few weeks ago - similarly confusing.

I made a similar mistake with Autorecord a while back - I set it to record all episodes/any channel of ER - then I wondered why it was scheduling hundreds and hundreds of programs - once I ticked the Case Sensitive box, the problem went away.

Ah yes - that would certainly cause a 'few' hits. :eek:

Good call - I hadn't thought of that and was simply going to live with the occasional oddity. I've set QI to case-sensitive now.
