Where is Power Search?

Where has Power Search gone? It has disappeared from the far right column in iTunes, where the Quick Links are.

Interesting. I typed "power search" in the Search box you mentioned. It took me to "Raw Power" by Iggy Pop! But there was also a large radio button called Power Search. Clicking that took me back to the old Power Search format, where you can pick Music then add Genre, Composer, etc. like I'm used to. Stupid workaround but at least the Power Search feature still exists!

If you mean asking here, since Apple does not reply to questions made in these forums, there's no point in asking. None of us, your fellow users, will have any more information that you do. Nor will Apple generally ever reply to questions about their design decisions. All you can do is request via the feedback pages that they reinstitute the feature.


Regards.

The Hosts do their best, but with thousands of new posts every week, it's not an efficient way to post suggestions, and Apple will never reply. Again, the feedback page is the best way to submit comments - even our Apple account executives say they can't take comments and to use the feedback pages - and you'll never get any sort of answer unless Apple makes a general public statement as they did in the case of Maps in iOS.


Regards.

The "search" window sort of works. Can't find power search at all yet. But heres a good one... if you say , get to the list of songs by the artist, you can't sort the list. it appears as a fairly random list that you cannot sort by title or, popularity or, times. I am trying to resrerve judgement but I may be heading back to 10 soon. How is removing all the control functions supposed to be an upgrade? Steve J. would be disapointed.
