One thing you could do is right click a track -- edit track info -- edit tags. And then create your own tags (myfavouritejazz)(goodjazz) etc then when you type myfavouritejazz into the search arena it will only find those. A fair amount of work to sort them out but it will get you results > But my question is really about: Suppose I type in "jazz". I get a > great many responses.

Shouldn't happen - possibly dependent on memory availablity and the number of tracks in the database. I can happily drop 20,000 tracks into a playlist, might take most of a year to play them though ;) > Maybe there is some way to limit the number of results from the > filter search?
