Display search results directly as list again

Display search results directly as list again

Since the new update search results are not directly shown as a list anymore.

With the new search long song names get cut off (see the pictures) and additional information like duration, popularity, album and explicitness are not directly shown anymore.

 

Is there an option to directly show results as a list again or is this now a "feature" that someone thought was somehow helpful?

I thought this was a garbage move too. I like that the least saught after items like playlists and podcasts have their little box of summarized top/relevant items, but an immediate list of songs was way more ideal. Maybe this recent update addresses increased content in podcasts, videos and playlists, but if I'm not mistaken, most searches are tailored around songs/artists/albums in that order.

 

I remember being able to just sort the song list too, so ideally, if we reverted back to searches from over a year ago, song/artist/album searches were way more efficient.
