Need weight-based searching algorithm #7

Open JerryVeldhuis opened 9 years ago

Possibly a new perl object called TitleCriteria that includes matching fields that can be optionally set with known (and trusted) information. Then use the TitleCriteria object to conduct searches returning weighted results.

JerryVeldhuis commented 9 years ago

Should include

Title(s)
Episode description
QualifierTypes to restrict search to
year
actors list
series and episode fields (or maybe aired date)
plot description
keywords (ie xmltv categories)

Will want a simple tool to test/review search results with.

A lookup methodology we found works well is: Title > Director > Year (+/-2) if not found then Director > Year (+/-2) > Title (fuzzy match)

(We found Director(s) was better (i.e. faster and fewer 'possibles') than trying to use Actors for the initial matches retrieval)
