Wouldn't it be neat to have a "stuff I'm looking for" capability? The
idea would be that I use mythweb or the frontend to build a set of
queries for things that I want to watch out for. For example, my wife
periodically wants me to do a "Pride and Prejudice" search. If I could
add these queries to a "looking_for" database table, then when
mythfilldatabase runs, it could run the set of queries, queuing up
recording events if it finds anything on the list.
Just an idea,
Grant
