Don't be surprised if your post is attacked by a Moderator with a bag of asterisks. You should not mention specifics on the forums ...

It is not a good idea to fill in more than one box on the Audio search. You get all sorts of irellevant results. Sometimes the artist followed by the song works in the All Categories search. Exactly what makes a search "too specific" I am not sure, and it is possible it crops up if the network is busy(possibly) but try a few different things ... entering part of a song title for instance and you might have more luck. Vary your search and find out what works for you

Yeah, what Hobo said. Although I disagree with not filling in more than one box; it is the best way to ifind your song. A search being too specific means it either has too many keywords or too many characters (I'm not sure, haven't tested it). To solve this problem, try entering your artist's name in the Artist box, but only entering a few words in the Title box. Most songs will be found using this method, because using even just a few keywords from the song title, it can find it quickly if it has the artist's name supplied. I've ran into this problem a LOT before too myself.
