Hi all,

I have extended my prototype for the "Create a unified browse and search
interface" improvement (which I sent to the mailing list previously also)
to allow browsing from release groups too. Please let me know your comments.

I will next be continuing to extend it further to allow browsing from
releases,recordings, labels, works, FreeDB releases and CS stubs as well.

I also will try to show flags against the countries that appear in the
results as well as the country selection box as Tom Crocker suggested :)

Browsing multiple categories at once( like artists and release groups) is
not yet supported and I will implement it once I complete the above 2 tasks.

**One special thing I noticed when browsing through release groups from my
prototype was that most of them which had more than 1 releases showed
faulty release names(where all were having the same name). I don't think
this is a problem with my code since even in the JSON file received from
the search query, this can be seen. If it is so, it seems the database seem
to be full of faulty data.

Thanks
Ruchiranga
