The Search & Browse feature in the new app is brilliant. Such a quick and easy way to search for Internet radio stations.

At least, Sonos got something right with this option.

OK, but I wasn't asking about finding albums by a specific artist, it was finding albums with a specific word in the name. Obviously it could be anything but in your ‘Genesis’ example, it is to find albums with the word genesis in the name of the album, not necessarily by the band. The classic search would return album names with Genesis in if the Album filter was selected and albums by the band Genesis if the Artist filter is selected.

The new search will return albums with the name in it or albums by Genesis.

It should find Songs, Stations and Playlist too, aswell as Artists and Albums, with the chosen search-terms too, within some limitations, at least, but I guess the more that you know about what you’re looking for, the easier it is to then find things… there’s also the option to search all the installed music services in one fell swoop (but not a local library ‘directly’ at the moment).

In that instance, I would just expand the Albums category (‘view all’) and look in there, I guess, but that’s assuming I could not see the album searched for on the initial screen. I would think on most occasions it would be on the main screen display.

Wouldn't that show lots of ‘noise’/results that don't have the word Genesis in?

Yeah, perhaps - and that sometimes can lead me to discovering new artists and music, so I’m okay with that.
