I want to see futher down the OVT results... - IDN Forums

I was wondering if there was some way of adding some code (or whatever) that will allow me to see futher down the results of an OVT search?

So, say if I do a search, and it lists results from 1,000,000 down to 500,000 before the list display finishes - is there some way of seeing what the rest of the results were?

I hope someone understands this noob question...

There's no such code that i know of - unless you work at Yahoo's overture office - but you can finetune your query so compound words to see "further down results" that uses that compound word.

If you cut and paste the result at the bottom of the overture list (i.e 500,000) into the box at the top, you should get a list with everything below that word

Thanks beamerboy - that's so logical, I'd swear you were a Vulcan

Cheers!

Sorry Seamo,
I've searched for words that way, and it's been ok. Have you tried a really big name, like hotel (ホテル)?

I have been trying to offer some $$ for someone at dnf to work out such code for me, but after many days hardwork, he failed to fulfill such a task...

Yeah - and the strange thing is I'm positive I've done it before a long time ago - I just couldn't remember how!...

...but your comment markits has completely thrown me! Is it not possible after all??

I'll dig around a little more and see if I can crack this case...8)
