Hello.
I love the powerful Media Library and the powerful Search bar in Media Jukebox. But how do I get the two to work together? If I have a particular node in the Media Library tree selected, I want to do a search, restricting the results to only what is in that node, but as soon as I press CTRL-F, it jumps to the root "Media Library" node which includes the whole database! NOTE: Quick Search (CTRL-Q) is not sufficient. Any help?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can't really restrict the search for a single node in your library tree.
What you can do is simply to add a keyword for that node in your search query.
For example if your looking for a song with say 'love' in the the tree node genre/artist
subtree ''jazz'' you will simply enter 'genre=jazz name=love'.
Use the (...) button next to the search text box to find a combination of keywords and rules
that will match the view scheme in your Media Library tree.
In the hope that this will help ...

Cmagic,
Thanks for your help with this. I think it's is rather inconvenient that Search does cannot simply restrict to the current subtree. This would make a good feature for MJ9 (Hint).

You should probably suggest this in the v9 forum.
As a possible easy way to suggest it there could be a button that was on the right click for nodes that:
'Enter this node as a search string'
or something like that that automatically built the search string for that node for you.
