      with as many genres as we're getting these days, I think adding an easier way to search for genres is much needed. this could also possibly cut down on duplicate genre tickets by including genre aliases (which should maybe be shown in the search?), and it's easier than doing a [Ctrl] + [F] search on the genre list page

      (for clarity, the search box I'm referring to)


      if we're thinking about advanced query syntax while we're at it, I think a good one to include would be subgenres, like what genres a genre is a subgenre of, perhaps even several layers down.

      an example might help: say you search [*step AND subgenre:edm], it would pull up, among others, dubstepbrostep, chillstep, deathstep, etc. which are all subgenres of EDM, if a few layers down

      (I could make a new ticket for this latter part if needed. also my AQS might be a bit misinformed, I have a hard time figuring it out, lol)
