    @Auen Fred
    Not he is wrong : Ableton -Live

    Will search Ableton ... but REMOVE "Live" due to Hyphen.
    Because it is a FµKµN FUNCTION !!!

    Already explained a whole page before.

    dude, you could just do another search by removing the dash but you chose to be a Karen instead. That is even a bigger problem.

    Admittedly the search can be a little obtuse at times (takes a bit of getting used to), but for the most part it works adequately.

    It is sometimes difficult to separate the plugin from the main app. Like searching for particular plugins for something like say "ableton live" as opposed to the actual daw of the same name. Takes a few tries sometimes to get it right, but you get there eventually.

    Searching for versions of the actual daw itself, in this case, is simply achieved by inputting the query "Ableton Live".

    The search engine operates on the GIGO principle, that is "Garbage In, Garbage Out".

    So if you try to be "clever", it will give you "clever" results. Maybe do actual searches and get actual results.

    They don’t always handle complex queries well. Try simplifying it a bit, like just searching for "Ableton" or "Live" on its own.
