Bugzilla – Bug 17159
Napster search missing results
Last modified: 2011-05-26 10:41:36 UTC
Some searches return incomplete results. For example: 1- Search for artist Joni Mitchell 2- Note that album "Clouds" is not in the search results 3- Now search for album "clouds" 4- Within the resultset, the album by Joni Mitchell is listed 5- Click on that album, get to the details, click on artist name "Joni Mitchell" 6- The list of albums does not include "clouds" Note that searching for this artist in the Napster PC application returns 31 albums, with 99% of the tracks available for streaming. Please fix Napster search so all results are consistently shown.
We're missing a link for "all albums".
FWIW: I'm seeing the "Clouds" album in the top 10 albums shown, and I'm getting a total of 28 albums for her. But this might be a country specific difference.

The main list only shows up to ten top albums. Please note that this is implemented on the test host only. It'll take a few more days to be rolled out to production systems.

Will the fix rolled to a central server or will we need to apply a fix locally?

So yes, "Clouds" was already available to _me_. With the new "All Albums" link you should get it as well, whether it's in the top 10 or not. > Will the fix rolled to a central server or will we need to apply a fix locally? It's a central mysb.com update. No software update needed on your end.

No software update needed on your end. I still can't find the "All Albums" link when searching for an artist like Joni Mitchell on Napster. Does it make a difference if I am a Canadian subscriber?
The change has not been rolled out to production systems yet. We're currently working on a few more improvements to the Napster service, which then will hopefully be released soon. The country does have some influence on search results etc. But if you see it in the web UI, then you should get it on the SB too.
