Anyone else?

I, for one, NEVRE misspell any Titles, Artists, Book I.D.s, Genres, etc. when I do a search!

I vote for the longer search line as well... not sure what decision was made at MTU that led to the shorter version... but they will listen to your ( our ) complaints, and justify there validity, against what has to be done, to return to the previous version of the search engine that incorporated the full line of type view!

Rick, I think Its NEVER I also am pretty sure (have read many of you post) you did that on purpose. LOL I thought I was going to fall off my chair when I read that one.

Caught my attempt at some dry humor...

But the Hoster search engine is as accurate, and fast as the person that is doing the searching... If you can't spell, then the computer won't find it without you having to further refine, or check for the typo, whether it be in the Title, Artist, Book I.D., etc. So the error would be easier to see if the longer view window could be easily reinstated, thus my vote for the longer view... I still use sign up slips for the newbies, and then can cross reference the slip for client error, or my typing for KJ error... My regulars come up and use the singer database ( Great Feature! ) to put in their songs, or ask me to search for some obscure song, that I may have left out of my book(s) on purpose. ( I list 4000-5000 songs with no duplicates, that I have tested, and have chosen for quality, and sing-ability ) That leaves about 6000 songs in the computer, that may be obscure, obscene, or bad quality duplicated versions.... it keeps me from having to explain the difference between Sound Choice, and Sweet Georgia Brown versions of the same song, as an example of duplication, and my reasoning for editing the other version out, but... if you have been practicing with the SGB version, you may not want to hear the difference quality makes... because it's outside of your confidence zone. Mostly newbie's that have only practiced with one manufacturer of cdg's, and visiting KJ's that know more than I...that I allow a different version to be tried... but only if I can't talk them out of the second version first...

Remember " Roadhouse ", with Patrick Swayze, ( "...but be nice... until it's time to not be nice... ) that's me and my show, in a nutshell...

Actually, everyone on this post (myself included) would like to see the larger search box back. I responded to Robsters original post just as a possible work around to use for now until we see if MTU tells us if they can / cannot fix this.


So I think we are ALL in agreement.
