I used to look up numerous works on the website, and after I searched one of them, the results page would stay on the chosen search style.

Recently, I went back to continue, and MB resets the search style to Artist every time.

Is there a way to change this?

Thanks.

It also kept the search term in the search box. This has also recently changed.

Personally, I like that the search term disappears. Clearing the box is one less step I need to do.

But if you’re looking up a series of things, it’s really annoying to change the box every time. I logged into my account, just in case it was a setting, but I didn’t see anything.
