Unable to search my collections

kevomac12 — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 12:15:09 GMT

I am not sure the coder of the collections function, was fully aware of a key function for individual collectors, is the ability to search "Their" lists! As of October Twenty-first, I can't search my collections. I have to "SCROLL" my lists to find an artist/song...NOT (!) COOL, and NOT 21st Century functionality.

@kevomac12 If you type something into the search field, it will actually populate content that is already added to your collection, as well as other related content.

Can you please give me an example of something you search for that is in your collection, but it does not populate?

A screenshot or a screen-recording of what you are seeing would be helpful as well.

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

@AdamPandora I would like to resurrect this old thread. If I am trying to search for a song within my collection, but can only remember a brief portion of the song or artist title, a search with matches within my collection should (but do not) populate at the top of the search results.

For example, I have a song "the last time i saw you" by artist: "Elijah Who" in my collection. I couldn't remember the song title or artist, but I knew "Elijah" was part of it in some way. I search for "Elijah" and none of the tabs return anything from my collection (at least the top several hundred results!). If I search "Elijah Who" and click "songs" then after 20 results or so, I see the one in my collection. But I did not know the full artist name when I was searching, so this was not useful at all. Ultimately I had to stumble through scrolling hundreds of songs in my collection (NOT using the search function) before finding the song I was looking for. I am requesting that search results from your collection automatically return at the top of the list. Or, include a separate function to search specifically within a list.

@quipstad Thanks so much for sharing your feedback.

I recommend creating a new thread in our Ideas space if you'd like to see this option added to Pandora.

This will give others around the Community a chance to upvote your idea if it is something they are interested in seeing as well.

Hope we continue to see you around!
