Hi all, I think our search on stage experience could be improved, the more i have tried to use search on stage the less i am impressed with it, why!
It’s too good!
Just like our Audio Segment editor was, remember when we use to be able to zoom in on a single sample and it was really awkward to create an audio segment , so I suggested that the zoom needs to be tamed down so we can quickly create a perfect loop , well this applies to our search function, it is so good it finds everything including the kitchen sink , so then we need a sorting feature that actually does not work all that well to sort the hundreds of search results.
Joking aside,
All we need is a search that finds your precise result in a few letter search and presents it to us on top of the list to simply choose, I know why it does not do that now , yes I understand the way it is, we don’t want excuses we want good results on stage.
I suggest we have a search function that behaves like many other website search engines that have proven to be very fast and useful.
I suggest we have 3 buttons option to search by
TITLE
ARTIST
LYRICS
these options to be able to be all selected at once or individually turned on or off depending on you requirements.
LYRICS search means you don’t know the other two but you know a lyrics line , type it in and all lyrics are searched and all songs containing these lyrics are presented to you in alphabetical order.
No filtering required because you expect only a few results because you have narrowed the search area and you expect exact results in logical order to be there.
I personally want TITLE only when performing as I am the ARTIST so I don’t need that search criteria and I know the titles of my 440 songs well to some degree but my trusty search engine is good enough to find my song with 3 letters 😂.
This idea is already widely used by a lot of websites so I am telling you to suck eggs but the reason is I do not like the existing search logic , it does not work well on stage.
It needs to be tweaked down to give us less results , as I always say sometimes LESS IS MORE.😂
Oh not to forget it would be lovely to have voice activated search before I kick the bucket😂
Sorry Peter I could not help myself , please don’t reply
Cheers
