Advanced Search tips:
Checking "Search albums only" will disregard the song-specific fields and only return album names matching the other criteria (album name, catalogue number, date).

Currently the search engine only performs simple text matching, advanced operators such as OR, AND, -, "", and + are not (yet!) supported.

When searching the writers, vocalist or producers fields - due to various inconsistencies, it's best to search for the last name(s) at first, and refine from there.

And lastly, the database is not (yet!) complete, or completely verified - if you spot an error please contact the webmaster, or use the forums.
