Keyword Search

Postby bromfman on Sun Feb 19, 2006 1:35 pm

It would be great if there were a keyword search feature for music. This way artists with 'The' in the name would still show in the search results, and all songs with a given word in the name would also show up.

One way to do this is when generating the music.xml database, there were another field for keyword, with sub-fields for all the words contained in the artist, album or track names. Anyone knows if tere is already a way to do this?

Many thanks.

This would translate into a huge xml file..I would prefare if wildcards could be used in the search.

Eg: %love% would search all songs that contains love in the title regardless where in the title the word "love " is.

This could work with any category and field
