EG I know there is a global search box but I want to search sometimes limited to certain display field such as artist or genre. I see the options under the global search box to limit it by fields but it seems it would be more intuitive and quicker if a search box appears next to each display field.

You can limit searches from the main search box by including the search field and a colon before your search text.

e.g.
Artist: Hans Zimmer
Album: Gladiator
or both
Artist: Hans Zimmer Album: Gladiator
Bee excellent to each other...

Or you can use the Custom Search available from the search box drop-down.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
