Advanced Track Search Utility - Accurate Title Searching

    Hello! I've been working on a little project that allows advanced searching for specific properties of tracks. (Also it doesn't make people mad unlike my others :p (hopefully :D))

    Right now this is not very practical, but I am still working on it. Eventually I hope people will be able to use it to search for tracks with low completion rates to try to get a high score, big tracks just for fun, etc.

    Also you know how the current track search thing on free frider? (If you would even call it "search", more like "Hey! Here's some random tracks"). I want to make a better version of this which could search through titles of tracks and selects them better.


    Here's the website: http://dgrissom.com/advanced-search/

    How to use:
    1. Select what data you want to gather from the drop-down list
    2. Enter the track ID range (the ID of the first track ever uploaded on FRHD is 50001 (don't ask me why), and the most recent tracks are above 330,000).
      Track IDs go in order of date - 50001 is 2 years old, where 200,000 is 11 months old.
      Track IDs starting at 1001 to 11106 are Free Rider Community tracks.
      After, enter the end track ID, and press search.
    3. Press Search

    The website will generate a table of tracks with their associated average time or completion rate. You can click on the rows to play that tracks in new tabs.

    That's all I have for now, thanks for reading! If you have any bugs or requests please comment below.

    EDIT: Now including Completion Rate
    Just select completion rate from the drop-down list in order to use it.

    EDIT 2: Now you can click on the table column headers ("Track ID", "Track Info", etc.) to sort that column. See the 3rd reply to this thread to see a demo.

    EDIT 3: Now including title search! Much more accurate (but, of course, much slower) than the normal FRHD track search

    no problem! Im working on a faster way to do this... rn it takes like several minutes to check 1000 tracks (which may sound like alot, but theres over 300,000 tracks total...)
