OK This is interesting. Some of the below might not be the Global Search's fault btw.
Key fact: I'm using the Motorola NYXBoard. It's effectively 'just a USB keyboard' however one of its very useful functions is that if you are in 'normal remote mode' and flip the device over to switch it to keyboard mode, it opens a search dialog on XBMC! Nice! (under the hood, I think/assume the keyboard sends a 'search button' keypress to XBMC)
This dialog works fine inside a category, for example inside Videos searching for 'star' will get me 'star trek', however I believe it's not your Globalsearch, the interface looks more standard.
Secondly, in the main home menu, if I flip the keyboard, I get the search dialog, but whatever I type, there is nothing found. Perhaps this is a generic XBMC bug.
Thirdly I don't have a way inside the main home menu to access your search. There's no main menu item.
Finally, if I go to programs, then manually launch global search, I see a search dialog.. but then if I flip over the keyboard (presumably 'hitting search button again') I see the search dialog blink. If I type something I get 'no results found' and if I then hit OK, your search starts (and works as normal)

Some more info:
Here I am in the main menu, flip to keyboard side, type 'test', and hit enter, then hit enter to exit out of the 'Searching... no results found' dialog.
And this is from the moment I hit 'OK' on the globalsearch icon in 'Add-ons'

Final update: OK, after digging into some internals I've figured it out.
In the peripherals menu you can adjust what the 'flip to keyboard' and 'flip to remote' actions do. I reassigned 'flip to keyboard' to and presto.
2 questions:
1/ I have a large library and the script is a bit slow (takes, say, 10 seconds to find everything). Are there ways to speed this up? For example: My D2700 CPU has 4 cores (hyperthreading dualcore), can't we run one sub-search per core? One core searching my Videos, one core searching my Music, the two others cheerleading? (or even better
plit up the music db in 3 bits and search the 3 subparts.)
2/ Parts of the results are slightly garbled. (artist, for example) is shown as M/A/D/O/N/N/A/ ) - this is in the metropolis skin. GlobalSearch or Metropolis' fault?

1) i know of two things that would speed things up:
- if xbmc would move to python 2.7 (or up) that would speed up the processing of the search results 10x.
- threading... i have not tried it, so can't tell just how much we'd gain from it.
2) never seen that, not even when i test in Metropolis.
what happens if you try the script in Confluence?

If I look for artist 'Madonna' it insists on checking songs for madonna before it'll let me..
Quote:2) never seen that, not even when i test in Metropolis.

Same thing.
United Nations
d/a/n/c/e
United Nations are a United Kingdom dance act..
Abezizwa
L/a/d/y/s/m/i/t/h/ /B/l/a/c/k/
A/f/r/i/c/a/n
So with Artists the genre gets garbled, and with songs the artist and genre get garbled
One more question: is there some command one can run to cancel your script and remove the result window? I ask because of my keyboard, it can send a command when I turn away from the 'keyboard mode'. It would be nice if it both closes the keyboard mode and the search result screen (ideally cancelling ongoing searches), if it's there.

Guys is it possible to search for actors with this?

v0.2.5 is the last Eden version? If yes, it has a weird bug. If user input a blank search (by mistake maybe) it blocks the interface, escape/backspace key take no effect, you need to force close the XBMC process.

shame on me, i've fixed that bug some time ago,
but never released an update..
will do so in a bit.

try v1.0.3 (see first post).
i've just updated the code to reflect the latest json-rpc changes.

Thanks for the update mate. With the latest JSON changes it now loads incredibly fast. The only issue I'm having now is the images for anything video related / music artists aren't being displayed.
Using the XBMCSetup-20121023-2924e3e-master Windows build.
Nothing in the debug log reports an error. Upon installing the latest nightly, XBMC asked to refresh the image cache for videos; maybe an image caching issue?

thanx for testing :-)
all thumbs show up fine on my end (also tested with a fresh profile / library scan)
fanart images where broken though, i've fixed that in v1.0.4
sadly, this requires a skin update if the skin you're using includes a customized script xml:
ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image) -> ListItem.Property(Fanart)
script.globalsearch-1.0.4.zip
2012-10-25, 04:11
Ah yes, I forgot to mention I was using fanarts for the images. That explains why it wasn't working. Cheers mate for the fix, will test it out tonight. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle to update the change.
Edit: Give it a spin and everything is working as expected. Thanks again for the update mate. Much appreciated and the loading speed is brilliant!
