Search feature request
« on: May 30, 2012, 10:49:37 am »

Hi All, I have just under 700 movies all tagged in MC. I therefor do a lot of searching and have setup several views. Sometimes I want to search for a specific movie and in standard view I use the search box. It would be nice if there was someway to quickly enter

Code: [Select]
[Name]=Terminator
to search for all the Terminator films. I know I can use the wizard or the text and type this in but this does take time.
Maybe a drop down arrow on the right hand side of the search box with some user specified quick search links.

Many default fields have abbreviations, so you can just type those in w/out the brackets:

   name=terminator
   title=terminator
   n=terminator

You can add your own via Tools > Options > Manage Library Fields... > Search keywords:.

MrC gave a good tip.

With only 700 entries, I would also expect typing "terminator" or even "termi" to work about as well.
