ML search tags' "comment" section?

flutevsflame · 6th June 2009, 00:14

How can I get the search function in the Media Player to also search the "Comments" section of the IDTags of my files?

For instance, some music is difficult to categorize so i pick a general term to put in the "Genre" field of the IDTag, then i add some more specific keywords in the "Comments" section. I am unable to get winamp to return search results based on the terms in the comments section.
Sublime's song titled "Steppin' Razor" has the words "Dub" and "Party" in the comments section and teh genre field says "Alternative".
If I enter the word "party" into ML's search bar, that song does not show up as a result.

How can I go about searching the comments section of all of my music's tags?

PS - is anybody here familiar with Adobe's photo file organizing program called Lightroom? It has a really great search/filter feature that I was hoping Winamp would be able to do for music.

do i have to type "?comment has x" every single time i want to search the comment section????

is there no way to just add that to the fields all my searches examine? (so that every search i ever make searches the comments section in addition to the other fields ML searches normally)
