It is possible to enter part of a name to search for rather than typing the whole name. This avoids the problem of inconsistent spelling or misspelt names.

-

Any criteria you enter will narrow the available results. This means that if no results are returned you should try to reduce the criteria specified. 
 

The Other Field

-

Entering criteria in this field will search the descriptions for all items to try to match your search criteria.
 

The Genre of Music Field
