ML searching

in the search-field of the library:

a way to only look in a certain tag-field, for example only looking in the comments field of the mp3s.

and second, logic operators. AND, OR, NOT (using special symbols).
i would love that.

i ask because i'm thinking about using the comments field for adding extra-classification to the songs. for example mood info like chilliy, latenight, rainy sunday, energetic.. or detailed sub genre info, or labelname, netlabel or 'real world' label.. etc..
then i can enter pretty specific data into the search field and instantly get the perfect playlist for the situation..
ok, i could add a new view for every possible constellation, but using the search field is much more flexible.

You can. Right click on "Local Media" and select "Add new view..." there is a basic description of the query language.

If you want to type a query in the search box prefix it with "query:"
