Thanks for the explanation.

To make sure I understand interactive searches, is the following correct?

In the browser, I hit s then a (to search by artist) and enter "Led Zep" to
see all my Led Zeppelin albums.  This works pretty well.  To get back to
seeing all my albums, I have to pop the cache stack (thus hit c then q)---I
had to think a bit to get this second part.

Another small thing: the search display expands the browser entries on
view.  Is there a variable or hook to prevent this behaviour?
