Searching ExpressoBeansThere are several ways to search ExpressoBeans: Front Page SearchThe ExpressoBeans home page includes an abbreviated search form. Only a few common search fields are available, and to facilitate loading speed, these search fields are not complete. Instead, they include only the highest-ranked listings based on an internal ranking system for bands, artists and venues that gives each points based on views and related inventory on the site (8:1). If the band/artist/venue you are searching for is not listed, or if you'd like use additional fields to sort your search, head for the Advanced Search by clicking the "More Artists Bands etc." link in the bottom left of the Front Page Search form, or by following the "Search > Advanced Search" link from the main menu bar at the top of the page. Search MenuThe Search Menu is available from the top menu bar on any EB Art Guide page. It includes the Advanced Search, as well as a few other focused searches. Advanced Search
