The error message in an "alert" box when you don't select the artist form the drop down list is a bit surprising.

- thevdude 13y agoThat's what it's for, that's why it's called ALERT. Jokes aside, having something show up on the page would probably work better.
- gmjoe 13y agoThanks, you're right. That is now #1 on my to-do list -- maybe just go straight to the artist page if there's an exact string match, or else try to suggest a list of closely-spelled artists? Any algorithms anyone can suggest for finding close spellings, besides Levenshtein? Like, that are somehow indexable or easy to implement in a database? [Edit: just updated it, searching now works on a direct string match, no more annoying alert box.]
