I hit F3 to bring up the filter box.  
I type in wolf  
It shows me 4 results  
3 Artists which contain wolf  
1 Titles which contains wolf

I only want artists that contain wolf so I click the triangle button next to the end of the filter box and a drop down menu appears and I select artist

The filter box now contains:  
wolf%artist%

but now there are no results showing?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for help
