LaunchBar Search Templates for AllMusic
I made these search templates for LaunchBar this morning for performing quick searches on AllMusic. Because AllMusic displays different output for their search queries depending on whether or not there is a unique match, using these templates to spoof a POST request from their search box will give you much better results than using the GET-based URL scheme for their search result list pages.
To add your own search templates to LaunchBar, select “Show Index” from the “Index” menu, and select “Search Templates (UTF-8)” from the source list on the left. (AllMusic.com is UTF-8 encoded.) Click “Add…” at the bottom of the right panel and enter a name for your template and the format of the template itself in the new row that is created.
