Thanks for the detailed response. I would have to think that the vast majority of searches (actually using the search function)are falling under category one, with few falling under two, but I'd go out on a limb and say that I think that they probably account for maybe 98%. As far as those using the actual SB search function goes, I think you can very safely assume that it's close to 100%. If I were doing a #3 search, as you classisfied it (things I like), I would probably browse the Rhapsody console, clicking through links, similar artists, genres, etc. instead of doing any actual "searching" For a #4 search (know something arbitrary about the thing) I'm headed to Google. So I do think that the main search through SB ought to indeed be fast finds, with the existing "relevancy" search there as a backup for the rare times when someone cannot spell the first few letters of something. The fast finds searching would also be more intuitive since it would be consistent with the searches in SS, which I think serve the purpose of finding music on SB very well. -- Hamlet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hamlet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34386 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
