Bugzilla – Bug 1274
Text field to specify tags to browse and/or search in (artist related)
Last modified: 2009-07-30 14:02:09 UTC
Instead of having an option to include composer, band & conductor with artists, have the possibility to specify names of tags (in a text field) to be used in searches. It would be really great if you could specify tags to include in artist lists (while browsing) and another list only to be used in searches (not displayed in browse). I always specify a single "artist" for an entire album ("Various Artists" for compilations) but specify each performer (separated by ";") in the performer tag. I also use the composer field but not conductor nor band. More flexibility here could be a very powerful feature!

See also bugs 2696, 2698, 2700 for related enhancement requests - these are broader in scope but would also address this requirement.
