Hi Dr Lovegrove, thanks for the very encouraging reply. I'm getting
rather excited now.

There's nothing like typing in "jar coc" and knowing it will find
everything by "jarvis cocker", even if your tags say "cocker jarvis".
Finding music quickly was something that never seemed to be part of
SqueezeCenter's remit!

Fair comment, and to be honest, this particular request stems from a
selfish interest of mine, in that, long before I got the SB3, I started
using the genre field to store my own customised ratings and mood
information. I copied all this into the comments tag when I realised
that SqueezeCenter couldn't search Genres, but guess what? It can't
search comments either! At least, not very well. It searches for an
entire phrase rather than words, and can't handle special characters
like asterisks. It would be nice if there was at least one customisable
field that could be searched by Moose. pretty please?

I for one would be more than happy with that. Believe it or not, I
actually prefer a list going down the page. Then again, I may be
strange in this respect :-)
