[mb-devel] Search returns incomplete list of artists

[Pete Smith]

Hi,

I am using the Perl module MusicBrainz::Client on top of libmusicbrainz (v2)
to perform a search on an artist. However, the list of results is
incomplete. This has only just started happening. 

Here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use MusicBrainz::Client;
use MusicBrainz::Queries ':all';

use strict;

my $mb = MusicBrainz::Client->new();

$mb->query_with_args(MBQ_FileInfoLookup, [undef, 'u2'])
  or die $mb->get_query_error();

my $number_results = $mb->get_result_data(MBE_GetNumLookupResults);

$mb->select1(MBS_SelectLookupResult, 1)
  or die 'No lookup result';

my $type = $mb->get_result_data(MBE_LookupGetType);
my $frag = $mb->get_fragment_from_url($type);

my $count = 1;
while ($mb->select(MBS_Rewind) and $mb->select1(MBS_SelectLookupResult,
$count++)) {
  $mb->select(MBS_SelectLookupResultArtist);
  print $mb->get_result_data(MBE_ArtistGetArtistName), "\n";
  $mb->select(MBS_Back);
}

Now, this returns the following:

[pete at mother]$ perl search_album.pl 
LMC Versus U2
U2 with Coco Freeman

Now, of course the band U2 should be in there - it was a week or so ago.
This is the result from the Musicbrainz website:

U2
Musique vs. U2
LMC vs. U2
Mary J. Blige & U2
U2 & Johnny Cash	
U2 and Green Day
U2 with Coco Freeman
LMC Versus U2


Any ideas - it seems to be only returning the last two results.

Cheers,
Pete
