In each category, the recipient can click See All which will redraw the results exclusively for that category. 


Results by Artist

The user can choose search on Artist name specifically by clicking the See All button beside the  Artist category. This will open a page with results geared toward results matching the search term for Artist. 


The artist search page will show Artist: [ Artist Name ] as a header.


And it will show in gallery view all releases with that artist. 


If there are more results than can fit the page, a vertical scroll bar will appear and the user can use infinite scroll to get more results.


They can click the list view button at the top to show results as a list with the usual columns.



Results by Label

Similarly, the recipient can weight results to Label name by clicking the See All link in that category. Results with labels with names sharing the search term will show in Gallery view.

Labels will show with a Label logo above the Label Name and a counter of how many releases are available to the user from that label.


If a label is missing a logo, a default is shown. 



The user can then explore a particular label by clicking on the label logo or name.


This will open up the Label page showing all releases available on that label that the user can access.
