Ok, I see now. At first, I just had one term saved and with that alone the length of my breadcrumbs navigation was
lining the search up just over the Artist and Album column titles causing the dropdown to cover them. It just threw
me at first. I don't know what I was thinking exactly. I guess for a few moments it seemed like something was
actually wrong or just really awkward looking.
Anyway.....liking it!
Thanks for the image TIV73. Great selection of music. I have most of what's displayed there and more.

As far as terminology, it's very important for communicative purposes but human nature makes it difficult
to be consistent in terms of setting up any kind of "so-called" proper usage.
Any of these seem good to me:
1. Far upper right (magnifying glass) - "Search", "Simple Search", "Global Search", "Simple Global Search"
2. All Tracks, Folders views - "Quick Search", "Fast Search", "Instant Search", "Speedy Gonzales Search" (I kiiid, I Keed)
Criterion-Based Searching
1. Large Funnel Icon Button - "Advanced Filter", "Advanced Filtering", "Advanced Global Filter"
2. Breadcrumbs Funnel Icon Button - "Advanced Filter, Trailing" ("Trailing Filter" for short)
3. All Tracks Advanced Filter On-Off Toggle switch - "Advanced Filter, On-Off"
- I think for this last one "on-off" should be changed to something like "hide-unhide" since on-off incorrectly sounds like it literally turns it on or off.
- The large funnel icon button is interesting because it has both "Activate" (turns it on, but not off) and "Hide-Unhide" (visibility, not cancelling) functionality.
- And, interestingly, the first #1 has changed from MM4 by the addition of images as a header to the results.
Technically, they are all filtering and searching, but since there are so many location/view manifestations, it may be helpful to use search
for the simpletons and filter for the more complex ones. It would give them more of a feeling of distinction or as if divided into classes.
Any other ideas?
