Hi!
Is possible to modify the source code by making DC++ return more than 10 results per user in a search???

ThankYou!

It's possible, but 10 results is enough.

*uhm*
it would only change the number fo results YOUR client is sending to OTHERS not the number of results you will get ..

and if you explain why you want to change it might lead to more satisfying answers

That's what i need to do!

Ok i'll tell you everythink:
We are on a lan and we need to exchange files using dc. that's the easyest thing for our case. we have made a dc hub and now we all need a vesion of dc that allows to show all the results of a search.

I was just asking where i can find in the code the information to change. that's it.

Thankyou for your help!

Well, it's most likely in either the ShareManager or SearchManager...

ThankYou for your reply!

Ok I found where theproblem is:
if(aResults.size() >= maxResults) {
where maxResult is what i was looking for; BUT i still cannot understand where maxResult is inizialized...

I have one more probelm now: it seems like the search is made in a random way...
I have tried to find all the "madonna" music on a computer that shares a lot of mp3 in the same folder (something like 1600+) and the search result is 0. if you search "American pie" the same. But with "madonna - american pie" you get the right song.
I'm asking what kind of search algo does dc++ use?

ThankYou

This is where arnes code gets a wee bit cryptic... you see, maxResults is a parameter to the method in which the code you specified is located. In the calling method, maxResults are set to 5 if either you or the other user is passive and 10 if both he and you are active.

May be due to the search speedups arne implemented... can't help you here, unfortunately.
