Functionality seems to work nicely.  The Artist/Album/Songs search buttons are 
nice shortcuts to the full results.  The Play/Add buttons on each individual 
item seem to work correctly.

Some observations:

1. If I move mouse over the search button, and mouse pointer then sits beneath 
the search strip, after typing one character the live search area pops up, and 
one of the result lines receives the mouse focus, so subsequent keypresses are 
ignored.  Could keypresses be passed to the search widget if mouse is anywhere 
within the live search panel?  Especially annoying if the next keypress is 
backspace, causing a browser back navigation!

2. Having typed something and lost focus, clicking in search box causes the 
live search results panel to disappear, and for the exist text to get 
highlighted, so another mouse click to avoid new keypresses overwriting 
existing text.

3. What is the sort order for determining the top 5 matches in each category to 
display in live search?  I'm not seeing the same top 5 order in the normal 
search results list (which is alphabetical).  eg. A search for "king" returns:

Live Search:
        King Crimson
        Roger King
        Brenda White-King
        Kings Of Convenience
        B. B. King

Search Music results:
        Acid King
        The Flower Kings
        The Future Kings Of England
        Kaki King
        B. B. King

4. Mouse-over albums in live search causes some of the mini artwork images to 
slightly move around/flicker.  It looks like some artwork images to reposition 
one pixel higher?

5. The live search results panel looks nice, but is a bit thin.  I get lots of 
result visibly cropped - can scroll horizontally to read, but the grey strip 
down left hand side doesn't move (artwork does).

6. The Artists/Albums/Songs search buttons in live search could have Play/Add 
buttons, as shortcuts to the resultant "All Songs" play/add functions?  Note 
for Song results, All Songs is on the top of the results list, but All Songs is 
at the bottom for Artists and Albums results.  A bit inconsistent, although 
perhaps more useful for song results only?

7. In Advanced Search page, the live search button in page title doesn't expand 
to show search panel on mouse over.  Only appears if I click on it.
