Could it be possible to search for music artist?

SnappySneezer 18 years, 3 months ago at Jan 23 22:54 -
When I wanted to add some cd's I have, I would generally look for the artist but just doing that in music only brings up titles with that name in it:

www.listal.com/search/music/1/?query=andrew+bird

Now it is true that another link appears at this page saying "Artist matches found - Would you like to search for products performed by andrew bird ?"

with a link to here:

www.listal.com/search/music/1/?artist=andrew+bird&source=us

What I would like is after the extra R2 DVD search another field saying Music Artist like this:

Movies
TV
DVDs (all)
Books
Music
Games
R1 DVDs
R2 DVDs
Music Artists

or better yet, to expand this idea to other items, let it read like this:

Movies
TV
DVDs (all)
Books
Music
Games
R1 DVDs
R2 DVDs
Movies - Actors
Movies - Directors
DVDs - Actors
DVDs - Directors
TV - Actors
TV - Directors
Books - Authors
Music - Artists

Alternatively Artists and or Actors could be switched to performers.

Just a thought.

Btw in terms to clicks there is not much difference in selecting the artist dropdown or having to click through

Assuming you are in the music page :

1. search for andrew bird (2 clicks)
2. click on Andrew Bird (1 click)
3. View results

Or :

1. select artists from the drop down (2 clicks)
2. search for andrew bird (2 clicks)
3. View results

There is actually 1 more click in the second version.

Admitadly if you are in another section having the drop down would save time.

I have change the search results so you get a picture and you can choose to click on the persons profile or search results.

Maybe I should just automatically redirect to the artist search results if a match is found and then give an option to search titles.
