I saw that when I first downloaded the software, I love dynamic search, however there isn’t any for Album which is slightly sad.

I would have liked it a bit more if it were global and merely redirected you to the normal search screen (Displaying Artist, Songs, Album, etc.)

I actually just stumbled across that tonight when i accidentally hit a couple keys on my keyboard. Pretty cool, though I can only get it to search for artists, not tracks or albums.

We i first saw this i was suprised. NOw I use it all the time. I love how it allows you type the part or the word or the whole word.

I mentioned this over on Zune Thoughts. It’s worth mentioning here too.

That’s great, BUT it only works if what you’re searching for starts with whatever you type.

Let’s say you have the song, “Love Me Tender”. If you start typing “Tender”, the old dynamic text would search thru the meta data for all references to what you type.

With the new dynamic search, typing in “Tender” will not locate “Love Me Tender”, it will only take you to song titles starting with “tender”. If no song titles exist that start with “tender” it will take you to the songs that start with the letter “T”.

They really dumbed down this software. Hopefully they’ll be able to smarten it up fairly soon.
