I had some saved search urls for genres that were deleted once I cleared Muscol cache lol so now when I click the search function I get no results for the genres, it used to show me the latest albums, songs and artists. How do yo build a menu link to show Genre?

my old urls were setup as follows:
xxxxx.com/music/?view=search&search=albums&genre_id=2&Itemid=13432

I was just changing the "genre_id=" to select the Genres

13432 is my default item id

in addition the search function does not return any results when you search for artists or albums...any insights?

    sorry I missed this...

    the way to create URLs for genres is exactly as you are describing.. just point to the search page with the genre_id filter in the URL.

    is this not working?

    the problem is that you were not loading jQuery into the page.

    I just set "load jQuery" to Yes in Music Collection's options and now it works...
