Req: Need help with Auto-Tag from Web (via Google) [#8657]

My request seems to have gotten lost in this thread and I am not sure of what I am doing wrong or if there is a solution.

In the playlist there is a 'redirector' arrow that when you click it is suppose to 'Search the Web' for the item you 'clicked' on.
My assumption is that when I click this arrow in the title field it would use the 'artist and title' values to search which ever 'search engine' you have selected in the options. I have about 1000 titles that I am trying to determine what the correct title (or sometimes artist) should be listed. I prefer 'Google', since Google has the 'did you mean' option, I can determine a 'consensus' of the 'correct' answer.

ANYWAYS - My issue is that when I click either the artist or title 'redirector' arrow, it ONLY passes the 'artist' value to the search engine (google) search bar. I need the artist AND title to be passed.

Why is this not 'working' as I am expecting.

Is there a solution?

Currently I am using the 'copy' comment and then pasting the 'path' value to the google search engine and then deleting the rest of the path so that google can use only the artist and title values to 'search' for a 'consensus' answer.

Note: This is true for most other 'search engines' and the auto-tag from web features.

It only uses the value of the column it is showing for of the Links in the Tracklist.

Unfortunately, I may have discovered a 'bug'. If I use the 'Google' option it passes the 'artist' value when i click on the 'title' field's 'redirector arrow'.

And if I use the "Get Info/Buy' option it also ONLY passes the 'artist' value into the 'google search field'.

Is anyone else experiencing the same things? Is this a 'bug' or is it something that I am doing wrong?

It seems to be by design that the Links only open Artist for web based destinations. In Library Title has no Link, but Album does open Album.

There seem to be inconsistencies in design. Bug added: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8657

Yay and Boo. I GREATLY appreciate the feedback on this issue.

Yay - At least I now know It is not ME. Boo - Well it may be awhile for a 'fix', so at least I can use the copy paste option.

There may be a 'ray' of hope

? Is there ONE option that DOES use both Artist - Title as part of its query to a search engine option listed in MM3? If so I am willing to try it, but I think they are all 'broken'.

Amazon sites seem to do it when clicking in the Title column.

Based on our tests it should be fixed in 4.0.4.1467+

Please let us know.
