Using 2026 latest build for the following test:

I started looking into one of the rarely used aspects of the new Style Picker menu and decided to test the functions down at the lower right.

The buttons in the "Browse for more info" area will launch the internet browser and let you browse for more info for the selected song or listen to the song.

At random I highlighted The Gambler by Kenny Rogers and here are the results.

1. Info (Google Search) - I just goes to the main Google Screen - No search results
2. YouTube - It goes to a YouTube page and shows the results. Works Good
3. Spotify - It goes to the Spotify page and shows the song. Take a look at the web address page. It is correct as it narrows the search down.
4. Spotify (All) - It goes to the Spotify page and shows the song. Take a look at the web address page. It is correct as it broadens the search criteria.

FYI: There is a 100% probability that I won't be using this feature as DuckDuckGo search is my preferred search engine and I see no way to modify BIAB to make it the default method.

Anyone else have the problem with the Info (Google Search) method?

I've read the post several times, but I can't even make the initial connection.

What test function down at the lower right?
Is this the new or original Style Picker?

My Style Picker (either one) doesn't have any "test functions down at the lower right".

Could you provide a screen capture of these test functions?

I think this is what he's referring to:

It's not a tests function. I said I was testing the functions down at the lower right. It's in the Multi-Picker Library under the tab Titles on the top row. That opens up a new screen with the Browse for More Info choices on the bottom right of the screen. Sorry I was not more specific .

Thanks for clarifying and thanks Charlie for identifying the page. I see now it's not the Style Picker but it is the Titles browser.

Joseph, I get the same results as you.

I suspect that the syntax used in the Google search function is incorrect. I'll report it to the developers.
