Try "Red by." Per your own Elf Power example above, albums display in the search results as "Title by Artist (album)."

Yep. That does work.

But so should "Red King Crimson", or "Red King". As "Blue Joni" retrieves Blue by Joni Mitchell. "By" should not be a requirement to search for some albums, but not all. "By" should not be needed in any case...unless the one word artist and album title are the same (Heart by Heart).

Apologies for the issue, something doesn't sound right. In the process of investigating...

EDIT: This is now fixed

Thanks for the tip!

I think it would be useful to have some sort of "see more" feature when there are more than ten matching results.

that's a good idea, I'll add that one to list

As for a workaround...if the artist name doesn't come up, as is the case with The Alchemist, enter the artist number. When adding an album to a chart, instead of the artist name, enter 13577. The Alchemist will come up as the only option for you to use.

Related issue - I wanted to add a 2021 record by The Alchemist to the database (This Thing Of Ours 2), but couldn't do that without creating a new artist, because only collabs were showing up. I thought a workaround of selecting an existing album by him and then changing the title might do the trick, but it created a new artist anyway.

Thanks Romanelli, I'll check into (not sure if that's suddenly started happening, or been happening for a while, but no recent changes made). I'll check to see if maybe there's some other issue causing this.
