"And"-searches now available on FictionAlley!

[Heidi]

We've been working on it for months...

And now, it is working!

You can now search for combinations of ships, or of main characters
separate from ships - just click on
http://forums.fictionalley.org/fics/search.php and you can try it out!

In other words, if I want to find all fics that feature Sirius Black
and Harry Potter as main characters, and which are, say,
Action/Adventure fics, I...

Go to the Main Search Page
Select "Action" for genre
At "Show me fics where the main character is", select "Harry Potter"
Click "Add another character"
When "Show me fics where the main character is" comes up on the
screen, select "Sirius Black"
(Add other options, like house, length, upload date, etc, if I want to)
Scroll down and click "Submit query"

And look! Here's a list of all the fics that meet my criteria:

!

(Of course, you can't do combined "or" searches anymore - you now need
to do a separate search if you wanted to find all fics with Harry, or
all fics with Sirius, but I think we can all live with that, can't
we?)
