Which music shop provides the most effect search results?

aom3

Hey,

this is a post for everyone for everyone to join. I've noticed that a few shop's search function provides awful results and non-meaningful interface. So was wondering which shop do you think has the best search engine and provides you with useful results.

I have voted for mp3sale as I like the way the predictive text works (much the same as alltunes (not mp3sparks

) and mp3va). After hitting the search button it give a nice sensible list, starting with artists and does not just contained a load of vague junk.
NB1. Should be mentioned that I only regularly use six of the listed site, so there could well be a better one I am not aware of.
NB2. Of the sites I use, legalsounds search engine is by far the worst

. Very annoying / confusing way it presents the results.

I voted for MP3SPARKS. This is the only one I use but I find it's easy to use.

I agree with you totally there, Dave

Like I state in my RuTunes review of the site, the advanced search option of MP3Sale.ru is second to none

I also think mp3sparks/mm has the best search engine. Fiesta has tried to mimic the style of the search results, but due its small font size and spacing, it seems cluttered.

Thanks to all who voted in the poll

IOMOIO is certainly not my most favorite shop, but their search system has a
search-as-you-type function, very quick, and is also insensitive to typos and missing
letters. something the others might look into.

i agree that the advanced search option of MP3Sale.ru brings good and quick results, too.

Yes, have to agree its one of the best and quickest live search boxes I've seen but often it incorrectly predicts what I am going to type and as I type fast and hit enter I then get incorrect results as its replaced my entry with their suggestion.

I think Lavamus is quite good, the order that the results are shown show good logic, rather than just in any old order.

>> it incorrectly predicts what I am going to type and as I type fast and hit enter

i used to do that too, and it sure came up with a few 'strange' suggestions !

now that is started looking first, and at time override what it suggest, or adjust my
search, it proves a nice system.
