Bryan Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Using a Nexus tablet running under Android and using Chrome, I am often seeing the message "Insufficient number of arguments" when I conduct a search. For example I have just attempted a search for Tonbridge school, when the response was Insufficient number of arguments And in the address field above https://www.alamy.com/image-details-popup.asp?search=Tonbridge+school&submitsearch=Search&media_type=footage If I leave the Alamy site and restart, the search works OK. I have reported this in the past, and was asked to provide evidence. Not sure what else I can give. Anyone else seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The https homepage is weird. On the usual alamy.com search I just get no results. http://www.alamy.com/search/Videoresults.aspx?CreativeOn=1&adv=1&ag=0&all=1&creative=&et=0x000000000000000000000&vp=0&loc=0&qt=tonbridge%20school&qn=&lic=6&lic=1&archive=1&dtfr=&dtto=&hc=&selectdate=&size=0xFF&aqt=&epqt=&oqt=&nqt=>ype=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 So there's no footage of Tonbridge school? Only 46 still images. What's wrong with that? wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yes, I was looking for an image in The Times, and it was there. Don't know why I am getting this Insufficient number of arguments response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 But you did search from the footage box. Not from the all images box. The Insufficient number of arguments error message probably indicates that you or the tablet inserted a character like @,", _ or * into the search string. The database took that as the start of a command, but nothing followed. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I used the standard image search facility that appears immediately you enter Alamy Wim. While it is possible that I entered an illegal character - using the tablet incorrect typing is all too easy - I did repeat the exercise several times with the same result. It was only after I had restarted Alamy that the search worked properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
