Hello!

Some of the filenames of these files aren't complete for some reason. Also you would expect that this search would say "File:PDP-CH - Philadelphia Orchestra - -Wikipedia-Leopold Stokowski-Leopold Stokowski - Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 - 1st Movement- Allegro - Johann Sebastian Bach - Hmv-d1708-42-606.flac (redirect from File:PDP-CH - Philadelphia Orchestra - -Wikipedia-Leopold Stokowski-Leopold Stokowski - Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 - 1st Movement- Allegro - Johann Sebastian Bach - Hmv-d1708-42-606.flac.flac)" however it isn't. Might anyone here know why?

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand what is not complete in the query results for intitle:/Philadelphia Orchestra/ filemime:audio/x-flac do you have a specific page missing.

The second query you pasted contains error and after fixing it (I assumed you wanted to search for the redirect with the doubled .flac extension) finds the page you mention. Here is how I fixed the query:

intitle:/Philadelphia Orchestra/ filemime:audio/x-flac intitle:/\.flac\.flac/.

When searching for a redirect the search engine will always display the redirected page, sometimes you may see a hint that you matched a redirect when the mention (redirect from: page_name) appears after the page title, see for instance the results for: intitle:/\.flac\.flac/ filemime:audio/x-flac incategory:"Swiss Foundation Public Domain".

DCausse, the filenames are only partially displayed, from the first search Jonteemil provided it seems there is a maximum length for display, some limit for characters, and then the second search condition intitle:/\.flac\.flac/ only narrows down the result(s) without adjusting the displayed lines.

But with an altered search I get the full display, it links to the redirected file with only one file extension, though, as already pointed out by DCausse: file: filemime:audio/x-flac intitle:/Philadelphia Orchestra.+\.flac\.flac/. Note that I merged both regex searches, as the one with two of them is really bad in terms of server loading (I also added the namespace as search domain; this should be always added if possible).
