to search artists per genre
Since the October-release of the new website it's harder for me to find artists per genre. Can a genre-query be added to search-options?

Inappropriate?We know, the genre search is not available at the moment. It will be added later, but it isn't a priority at this moment.

Can you PLEASE help me. I set up my account and while I can log in and see my profile and dashboard, people cannot find me when searching either my name or nickname -
Inappropriate?sorry, for me this is a really big problem.
without that, i cannot find artists i want to support.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Different priorities! As a little workaround, you can do some browser search: Browse the artists list page by page, and search in your browser (CTRL+F) for the specific text of the genre you like. At least, genres are shown in the artist list.
I’m amused about team SAB

Inappropriate?The amount of people having this problem rises. We'll see what the impact is on priority of this issue.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?I don't understand how this isn't a priority. It's basic knowledge of how fan-based communities work - they get together around a genre, not just "music". A hip hop lover will immediatly search for "hip hop" or "rap" as soon as he signs in. If he has to go page by page and use the "find" I don't really see why you bother having a search option at all.

Inappropriate?Impact == zero - it's Sellaband :-)
I consider a genre filter as a trivial thing, really don't understood why it was removed at all.

Inappropriate?Please know that we do want to add the genre search as well. However due to the structure of the search it's quite a big feature to add. To get it working we would need to make major changes in the search function.
We have limited programming hours, where real bugs have the overhand on feature requests. The decision was made to put this not too high on our priority list.

this solves the problem

Inappropriate?For the time being it might be an option to go here: http://www.sellaband.com/genres and click the genre of your likes and find the artists with this genre specified.
I understand it is not the best way to search new artists of your likes, but I hope it helps for now. -
yes, it's not the best way, but it's a very useful thing, if it includes all artists having the genre set. Maybe you could put a link to this genre page somewhere... on the artist page, maybe?
