How do I make a URL that will go to Google Play Music search on browser as well as Android App

This URL (when logged into Google Play Music) goes to the expected search results in a browser:

https://play.google.com/music/listen#/sr/beyonce

When this link is clicked from Chrome on Android, you get the option to open it with the Google Play Music app. If I choose to open with that app, it does not initiate a search for beyonce like it does in the browser.

The documentation here almost works, i.e. https://play.google.com/store/search?q=beyonce, but replacing store with music is a 404, and I really need the link to open the music section instead of the generic store search.

This Question is similar, but I specifically want to link to a search result instead of a particular item.

Can I make one URL that will behave correctly in both circumstances? If I can't, then I could detect Android and offer a different URL for Android users. How do I form that URL correctly?

I had the same problem.

I think this is the equivalent way of searching for music instead of apps according to the documentation: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=skillet+sick+of+it&c=music

You set c=music
