Search is weird
Search is weird at the moment. 'charles lloyd blessing', for example, does not return any of the many recordings of his 'The Blessing' (and many other searches also turn up suspiciously few results). Is there something wrong?

Hi there.
You are right. That is weird.
The song appears on this album: https://www.allmusic.com/album/trios-sacred-thread-mw0003820271
but it doesn't come up in search: https://www.allmusic.com/search/all/%22charles%20lloyd%22%2B%22blessing%22
We'll investigate. Thanks

Thanks!
Looks like we had a hiccup in our search databuild yesterday, but it seems to have built correctly today:

Some serious problems with the site today...

'max roach abstrutions' currently does not find a track by that name, even though it is very much on here: https://www.allmusic.com/album/members-dont-git-weary-mw0000246403

We may have had another issue with our search databuilding server.
We're seeing that available in search now:

The website appears to be falling apart again today.

Looks like this one too. https://www.allmusic.com/album/live-in-france-the-1966-concert-in-limoges-mw0004227732
We'll ask the editor about these two.

The website appears to be unwell again today. :S

The website is acting funny again today. Clicking songs in search results links straight back to search results.

Thanks for the heads-up.
We've automated our server refresh to replace the instances every two weeks and it looks like you reported this outage at the 13 day and 12 hour mark. We may need to do it weekly. Thanks again.

The star rating for this review from last Friday appears not to have made it onto the website.

Search is weird again today. Searching 'hiatus kaiyote nakamarra' for example, or 'jamila woods bugs', doesn't return the songs that are definitely there.

Yeah.
Data may be a little bit messed up for the next few days.
Thanks for your patience.

Serious question: you're not removing all ratings and reviews, right? I'm still kind of traumatized from the collapse of AllMovie.

AllMusic should be fine.
An issue happened with our data provider and several data elements have gone missing from what is made available to us. This is impacting search results primarily at the moment, and we may see several other phantoms and ghosts appearing and disappearing over the next day or two as we add back the missing data that has been (temporarily) removed.
We're hoping to have the whole process resolved by Friday at the latest.

Data is creeping back in:
https://www.allmusic.com/search/all/jamila%20woods%20bugs
This brings back her song "Bugs" as the second result (as of noon on Saturday)

This (recently added) star rating does not seem to match the review. https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-way-out-of-easy-mw0004390469
