search by musical key

The Key search functionality has been eroded over last couple of years and now might as well be removed as it serves no function. When I first joined one was able to search by key either by major or minor. This disappeared a few versions ago. There was a work around you could search by the letter of the key and in the results it would tell you whether it was for example E minor or Major not perfect but workable. In the later versions it just produces the Key letter without indicating whether major or minor. It was still possible , although very time consuming, to search through every search result with the hope that whoever had uploaded the track had completed the Key input box. I would say less than 1/3 of members put this information in however.Now the latest version does not even display the key of the track even if it has been input by the member! It is therefore virtually impossible on new tracks to search for a major or minor key and a laborious process on older tracks.

why does it matter you may ask? Well it does matter if you are looking to practice in a specific key, your voice or instrument is best suited to certain keys or if you play a single key instrument like many flutes and whistles, certain harmonicas or Harp for example. My use of Wikiloops has been severely restricted as a result. Is there a possibility of restoring the Major band Minor key search?
