>Is this the full text search in 7.9? > Maybe it is. Didn't realise that was going to be for normal searches. I thought that was something to do with a new search option or advanced search and the introduction of songs or albums results mode. Is there any way to turn it off?
Perhaps not so bad if the search results with the search string in the title were to appear at the top of the results, but when I search for albums for "rainbow" to quickly locate "A rainbow in curved air" and end up with 51 album matches (eg. "A Classic Case by Jethro Tull", "Acoustic Love by Various Artists", "Celestial Ocean by Brainticket", etc), then I find it not as useful in this case. Same if I do it through Touch. Search > rainbow > My Music > Albums, returns the 51 matches, even though I have only 9 albums with "rainbow" in the title. I can still use Advanced search, which may be quicker for getting to an album that you know you want to play. Or type more in the search string (like the exact album name). Only that doesn't help when trying to get to "Love" by "The Beatles" :-) Although I am slightly confused. If I search albums for "Love", I only seem to get albums with Love in the title (38 hits) less hits than searching for rainbow? I'd expect a lot more if it found albums containing songs with love in the title. If I search for "Love" in song titles, I get lots of hits (capped at 500?). Maybe it only does full text search if the search string is longer than 4 characters? Full text search may be useful in some situations, but less useful if you know what you are trying to find, IMO. Perhaps would be nice to have Search > Artist / Album / Songs / Playlist / Full modes.
