EDIT: How'd you find what url was needed to search the BBS?

Just looking at the HTML form for the search functionality. It uses a POST method but GET is also supported. Some sites won't support GET, and thus the deskbar won't be able to search them... But we do support it here.

AllMusic is a little funky. It sorta works, but they don't use the + character to indicate a space the same way other searches do, so some things don't work. I tried the following URL's with some limited success:

Artists: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?P=amg&sql=1{1}
Albums: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?P=amg&sql=2{1}

With multi-word searches, results were pretty poor. Not sure how else to hack the URL to get it right.
