Tech: Momma(.com) don't got no 'folk music!'

I put this under "Tech." because it pertains to internet search engines.

I was trying to find a particular Christmas folk song / Christmas carol via google, ask.com, and momma.com and I got nowhere with either of the first two. When I went to momma.com, I found under "music genres" the categories listed here.
Not only no "Christmas music" or "Holiday music," but NO "Folk music" category, either!

What is this cyber world coming to??

Well, if you type "folk" into the search box and then click "search", you get this. Not a bad start, I'd say. Look at item 14!

Yeah, but why ain't they got no listing for a "folk" category? I feel snubbed!

If you type song"title of song" in this format on google then search
it works rather well I have only failed once and that was for a theme tune in an American war time musical.
