Subject: [PATCH] Artist detail back button falls back to Search, not Dashboard

When the user reached the inline Artists detail view from outside
the Artists page and no browser history is available (direct
bookmark), fall back to the Search page instead of Dashboard.
Search is the natural next step for finding a different artist.
