[FEATURE REQUEST] Search-by-genre #101

Closed za419 closed 6 years ago

za419 commented 6 years ago

As requested by @KarenwithaKay.

@kenellorando, how feasible is this?

za419 commented 6 years ago

This issue will be fixed by the switchover to za419/cadence-server - The new server supports field-specific searches for any data included in the database, and the new database populator (kenellorando/cadence-dbp) includes genre data in the populated database.

Once this integration is performed, search-by-genre will be available by searching for "\<genre> songs" - As in, for example, "Kpop songs".

Therefore, this issue will be fixed by the integration of the new server.

For completeness, here are the recognized patterns:

"Songs named \<title>"
"Songs by \<artist>"
"\<genre> songs"
"songs from \<album|year>"
"songs released in \<year>"
"songs in \<album>"

The general case, that is, the function used when none of these forms are used, is to search for either artist or title. That is, in the same syntax used above, the general case is "\<artist|title>".
