Why not Browse?
Authored by: toddsnc on Oct 03, '02 07:33:05AM

Using the search box has the advantage of being usually faster than browse, because it's all keyboarding. It should be mentioned however, that Search happens only on columns displayed, typically Song name, Artist and Album. Add Genre to the mix and you can search (for instance) "jazz davis" to find all the Miles Davis jazz in your collection. Other interesting permutations are possible; however, Search only searches text fields - Song name, Alblum, Artist, Genre, Comment, Composer, Equalizer (yes) and Kind. Playlists based in part on numeric fields (like year) require a Smart Playlist.
