If a search returns a single item - one artist, one album, one genre, or one song, go directly to the artist's album list page, the album info page, the genre page or the song info page.

Usage example: The quickest way (by a large margin) to find a given artist is to use the basic search and enter either the entire name or a significant portion of it.  For instance, if I want to find Steely Dan, I enter 'steely d' and I know the search results will be a single item from the library.  There's no good reason to have to then click on the artist link to get where you're going.
