Well, there are things on the online version of the database that just don't work right. The "titles" list does not actually link to the songs by titles - what it does is a search of the entire database for songs that contain the words of the title. This works fine for "Twa Corbies," but not so well for "River." Max knows there's a problem with the "titles" feature - no need to swamp him with notices about it. He also knows that there are lots and lots of bad links to MIDI files - probably too many to fix. If something is bad and you need a correct copy, post a message on the "Help" forum and I or one of the JoeClones™ will e-mail it to you, if you can't get it yourself from the downloadable database.
Max may contradict me on this, but I think that in general, it doesn't do any good to notify us about links in the database that need to be fixed. But if you need something that's there and you can't get at it, ask for it in the Help Forum.
If you do a search and the song you want doesn't come up, watch for a link on the page that says "next entire page," and the song you're looking for might be on that page. There's one children's song that brings up a bawdy song first, which I suppose may not be the best thing - wish I could remember which one it is...
Since the beginning of Mudcat, the best way to search the database has been to put distinctive words from the text of the song in the the search box, [in square brackets if you want to search for an exact phrase].
And even better than that is to use the downloadable version of the database, which is as rock-solid as it has ever been.
Hope that helps.
