It's not. A user confirmed that, in MC31, clicking on a link arrow of two artists separated by a semicolon searches for all the songs of one or the other artist. It seems that I just need to upgrade.

My guess is that you and the OP have never specifically defined a top level Audio view.  This would be logical if you have never checked the "Enable Tree Selection" box in the Customize View dialog (see pic).  If that is the case, I don't know what MC defaults to using.  I have always had a defined view associated with the top Audio view, and for that scenario it behaves exactly as I described in my previous post, in a 100% repeatable way.

I suggest enabling the checkbox, creating a top level Audio view - you can then confirm what I am saying is accurate.  After defining the view, you can even uncheck/disable "Enable Tree Selection" box if you wish.  MC will continue to use the view you just defined for the link arrow click, but will not show that view when you click Audio in the Tree, since that it is now disabled (again).  Just be sure to define a view that includes your entire audio library.


Oh... and
This is exactly what I said in previous post here:

Defining a top-level audio view did the trick! I was not aware of such a feature! Thank you very much
