i was trying to find a way how to query freebase for a Movie title in other than english language, i know Freebase has the data, i found a Query to return the german title with MQL, but how can i get all the other stuff like starring, imdv id etc..
I played around with the MQL Console and tried various settings, but either the properties are unknown or Freebase doesn't understand the Sheme anymore like "film/film due wrong settings, also a "lang":"de" doesn't make any changes, or it returns an empty result, my idea was to use the allies section but couldn't figure out how to filter this out...
thx for help

I'm setting up Google Analytics for a website where a user can find an event to attend (concerts, plays, etc.). The results can be filtered by 5 different parameters.
So, unfiltered results would look like: example.com/event-finder/
And filtered results showing concerts in January or February would look like: example.com/event-finder?type=concert&month=jan,feb
I'm struggling to figure out the best way to use the query parameters in Google Analytics to analyze filtering behavior.
Example questions I'd want to be able to pull answers for:
What percentage of results were filtered by type?
What percentage of results were also sorted by month?
What is the most common type filtered by?
I have full access to both Google Analytics and Tag Manager but I suspect I shouldn't do this with events or custom dimensions and that there's got to be a way to use the query parameters to do this in a clean way.
I've tried to use a new view and site search to group the types of filters. Seems like it could work, but seems hacky and limited.
I've considered pushing those values into custom dimensions, but that too seems like overkill.
I've considered pulling content reports into Google Sheets and sorting through things there, but I'm 1) not entirely sure how I'd do that and 2) suspect there may be an easier approach.
Let me know if you have any questions or need more clarification. Thanks!
Have you tried to use "category parameters" when configuring site search (admin -> view settings)? You could set the "type" as a category parameter. You can also enter multiple parameters in there.

I have a strange behaviour with Bing Web Search.
I have a search query "hawkers" OR "hawkersco" OR "#hawkersco" OR "#hawkers" OR "www.hawkersco.com" with market = 'es-ES', safeSearch = Strict and responseFilter = webPages.
So, I expect, that result will contain at least one of these words and it will be Spanish posts. In fact I get more of posts in English and its not contain these keywords...
If I try search one by one these keywords, without OR operator, I had expected Spanish posts.
Please, explain why it is? How to use search query for get expected results?..
Check the specification for Bing Web Search API. Possibly this might be as simple as changing market to mkt(since you listed all the other parameters as used). And that means you should have a value for setLang as well.
You're not getting Spanish posts at all?
In that case, see here.
Bing results are based on relevance. Regardless of Market or Language.
If the result is deemed relevant. It will rank higher compared to the
selected language, and appear in the results.
Freshness affects the results, in that you need relevant(popular)
sites in your language. For them to attain sufficient relevance in the
selected time period.
You cannot rely on Bing returning a single language exclusively, with
the settings as they are.
I was wondering if it was possible to find the meta data of a song(genre, era , tempo, mood) using its ISRC via the mobile SDK or the web api? I know the web api support text search but It looks like it is not very accurate f you do not have the exact artist name and song title.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to search using ISRC. You can get ISRC returned with the search result, but not the other way around.
Is there a way to get Google and Bing news searches as RSS?
I'd like to have the most recent at the top of the results (ordered by time) if possible.
And show 100 results if that is possible.
I found this for Google, but it only shows 5 items or so, not that great.
https://news.google.com/news/feeds?output=rss&q=politics
I just want to search their news categories and get results as RSS.
You are right that Google no longer publicly shows RSS feeds for News searches. But there's a basic URL format that should continue to work.
If my search topic is "education", my search URL should look like:
https://news.google.com/news/section?cf=all&ned=us&q=education
Replace:
value of ned (probably stands for 'news edition'), i.e. us with the appropriate country code that's relevant to you. E.g. uk (not gb for UK), in (India), etc.
value of q (probably stands for 'search query'), i.e. education with your search term. Combine multiple words with a plus sign, e.g. education+policy (if your search is for 'Education Policy').
Now the RSS feed button in your browser should've become active because an RSS feed is available for the page. It shows 10 latest news items in the feed, not 5. And the RSS feed URL would look like this:
https://news.google.com/news/feeds?cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=education&output=rss
Conclusion: RSS feeds aren't available for actual searches, i.e. typing in the search box on Google. You'd have to do it like this.
(PS: Credit goes to the question itself. It would not have occurred to me otherwise.)
Try adding
&output=rss
https://news.google.com/news/section?cf=all&ned=us&q=education**&output=rss**
The custom RSS feed is in this format:
https://news.google.com/news/feeds?q={yourquery}&output=rss.
For example, https://news.google.com/news/feeds?q=developer&output=rss returns news about developer.
Your best bet is somthing like Google Alerts feeds. You can type a query select the type of data in there and get it delivered via RSS. Since they support PubSubHubbub for that, you will also get results in realtime.
If you want another dataset feel free to also check Superfeedr's track feeds which will help you get notified in realtime when keywords are matched across any RSS feed.
I think Google disabled the RSS search output in the past few weeks, and I have not found an alternative. The XML output requires a Google paid account. I now have to scrape the HTML for what I want.
Here's the new way to access Google News RSS feeds:
https://news.google.com/news/rss/search/section/q/{yourquery}
I have successfully used Google Places Api and was able to retrieve business establishments (shops) given a latlongbound and a keyword. But I cant stop wondering why it returns lesser shops than when you go to maps.google.com and type the keyword. Google Places does not even return those with a name and icon drawn on the map itself.
I want to retrieve a json with a similar result when typing a keyword on maps.google.com and I don't really mind if Google Places is not used.
Sounds like you may have additional filtering preventing you from querying all the results. Make sure you aren't restricting the 'bounds' or 'region' around your lat/long.

Good luck!
