Advanced search issue wih banknotes - please help!!! [solved]

Hi,

Could you please help me with the following?

I need to make a search which would yield only specific results in Banknotes Advanced search filter.

E.g. I need to search for 500 Dinar Yugoslavia

Here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=yougoslavie&r=&ct=banknote&im1=&im2=&tbb=y&tbc=y&tbl=y&tbt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=931&no=&v=500&i=&b=&ib=&u=&a=&dg=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&mt=&g=&se=&d=&c=&wi=u&sw=

I get not only 500 Dinar, but also 500 000 Dinar, 5 000 000 Dinar, etc.

How can I search for exactly 500 Dinars? Is there any way around it?

I have tried several search strategies like putting in the following into Face Value text-field:

500

500 Dinar

"500" Dinar

“500”

“500 ”

“500 ” Dinar

And I always get a mixture of results like I mentioned above: 

500 Dinar, but also 500 000 Dinar, 5 000 000 Dinar, etc.

Is it a bug in the search Advanced filter or am I doing it wrong and missing something?

Any help will be greately appreciated!

Thank you!

Alex

Searching for “500 dinara” eliminates the “5 000 000 Dinara” entries, but not the “500 000 Dinara” entries.

Should spaces be removed from numbers in the Face value in word form field?

The guidelines say to use “an unbreakable space” but I haven't found a way to actually enter one – copy-and-paste of an unbreakable space inserts a regular space (at least with Firefox).

(That's for “running text” but spaces in numbers have been used extensively for the Face value in word form field.)

Should we raise a bug to fix the issue or should we update the guidelines and the banknote entries to remove the space?

Bug for sure.

Hello,

I made a fix so that “500” matches “500 Dinara" but not “500 000 Dinara” etc.

Thank you so much, @Xavier!!! Yep, now it does work as expected, I am also confirming that the bug is fixed. You are the best 😀
