Advanced Search's filters

Where do the filters in Advanced Search pull from?  Its "Genres & Styles" lists "Folk/Country Rock", which has no filtered results.  You have style overviews for both folk-rock and country-rock, but not for "Folk/Country Rock".

We've discovered that we have a number of sub-categorizations that we use for helping better organize the style info on our genre pages and those trickled their way into the Advanced Search interface.

We're working to clean it up so that the only elements that can be selected in Advanced Search are things that will actually bring back data.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Zac, the filter has many extraneous entries for styles with a slash (/) that joins multiple styles.  For example: "Jump Blues/Piano Blues", "Exotica/Lounge", "Big Band/Swing".

That seems to be an extraneous entry in the interface that does not exist in the actual genre/styles list.

We'll see about getting that cleaned up on the selection interface.

Thanks.
