Title: What happened to the Quick Search's?
Post by: Mr ChriZ on September 05, 2007, 10:32:33 am

You used to be able to click on the search triangle and have a quick
list of search items such as artist, album etc...

It appears to have gone, instead just the wizard remains,
which just seems to many clicks to me.  :-\

If you don't want to click, you could use keyboard shortcuts.  There are two ways:

Wizard:
Focus search box (Ctrl+E / Ctrl+F) > Ctrl+W > type beginning of field name, like "ar" for artist > tab > tab > type artists / spacebar to select > enter

Learn syntax:
Focus search box > type prefix (i.e. ar=, al=, [genre]=, etc.) > type search term

You can define custom shorcuts for the syntax in Options > Library & Folders > Fields
