Yahoo's directory is dead. Everybody is just using Google or >Bing or whomever's full text search. I'm not convinced I like it too much, TBH. A useful feature to have, but not as the default for Albums search. I typically play albums. I have a lot, so I don't browse for the album I want to play, it is quicker to search for the title. It is much less often that I search for songs, and when i do search for a song its because I want to play it, not the whole album, so less often than that that I want to find an album that contains a word on a song. It seemed particularly strange when I selected on Touch interface Search > Rainbow > My Music > Albums, as I had previously searched for artists and songs, which only search by artist title or song title. Full text search only applies to album and playlist search modes? >Maybe you could share your >library.db file with me, and I'll look in to the particularities of your >data once I'm back.
