1) Message boards : News : Quick Search Message 7 Posted 5 May 2026 by David	We added links on the front page to various composer/instrumentation pages.
2) Message boards : News : Easy listening Message 6 Posted 9 Apr 2026 by David	When a recording of a composition is available, you can listen to it by clicking on the note. For other compositions, we've added a link to a YouTube search; there's at least one recording for most compositions.
3) Message boards : News : Improvements to composition search Message 5 Posted 26 Mar 2026 by David	On the search results page, don't show the search form at top; show a textual description of the search, and a Modify Search button. Add Period/style and composition type to search criteria. If a search includes composer name, use the SQL match() scores to pick a single person if appropriate. For example, 'carl bach' shows results only for CPE Bach, not various people with 'carl' and 'bach' in their names. Include 'alternative title' in title search. For example, title 'moonlight' and name 'beethoven' returns the Moonlight Sonata. Include subcompositions in search results. For example, title 'kennst' and name 'wolf' returns the Hugo Wolf song, which is a subcomposition of Goethe Lieder. Show a YouTube search link with appropriate search parameters.
4) Message boards : News : Search by location Message 4 Posted 21 Mar 2025 by David	We added the ability to search by continent and subcontinent, as well as by country.
