Yay! Glad you like it.
As mentioned in the setup guide, you can build unminifed by setting the DEBUG environment variable to 1:
zmusic-ng $ make clean
zmusic-ng $ DEBUG=1 make
But, for changing the default search terms, just change the config in frontend/js/app.js _before_ running make. I could add some fancy frontend configuration system, but as there is only that one thing to configure at the moment, this is easy enough.For more details, all of this is in the README linked above.
Let me know if you have any other questions or feedback. I'm thrilled someone is already making use of the project.
