As a user I want to filter and search for songs and be reminded of active filters when nothing matches my search term.
Steps to illustrate the issue
Select filter for language “Arabic”
Have an urgent desire to rickroll someone
search for “Never gonna give you up”
Nothing is found
be surprised
In fact the result is technically correct, since the language filter is active
In such a case, it's likely to be obvious, other cases may not be.
It's most likely to forget about the single/duett filter. Though the decade filter or language filter may have more impact.
UI suggestion:
When the “nothing found, please explain” dialogue is shown, AND filters are active:
change text from “Can't find anything” to “can't find anything with the active filters”
Add a button “Clear filters” (which should reset the filters, and redo the search)
this hopefully finds what the user was searching for.
The idea is to prevent unnecessary wish-submissions for songs that are there, because a user overlooked or forgot that they had filters active.
