Title: search using tags?
Post by: rhkrhk on June 28, 2013, 05:30:49 pm

when ripping my CDs, I used the "description tag" for various comments - including words like "Telarc" or "wilson".
How do I find all of the "Wilson" CDs?  Audio/search doesnt do it.

thanks

Try:

   [Description]=telarc

See:

    http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Smartlist_and_Search_-_Rules_and_Modifiers (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Smartlist_and_Search_-_Rules_and_Modifiers)

for the full syntax.  You can add a keyword abbreviation to shorten the search.  Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields, and select Description from the fields list.  Enter desc= in the Search keywords box.  Now you can search via:

   desc=term

@Matt - I thought MCs default large text fields were searched automatically.  I recall you changed MC so that the "Default search field" is unused for default tags, but the UI still shows the field as searched (but apparently Description is not searched).
