Please provide information about your system and the version of Clementine used.
Operating System: Debian
Clementine version: 1.4 rc2
Expected behaviour / actual behaviour
Clementine is the only linux player I know of that can cope with larger libraries. But its search is bizarrely useless. It doesn't find direct hits, even! I can't figure it out.
Originally, I only wanted to find out how to chain filters, but that led me to discover search is fundamentally broken.
Turns out, there's at least a ticket from years ago regarding arithmetic filters ("<2000"), and you can emulate it via that "smart" thingy. But the library search itself makes no sense.
Is there a summary of how to use it properly?
Steps to reproduce the problem (only for bugs)
One really bizarre example:
genre:folk does simply not find all there is. I triple-checked to make sure I don't have a typo in the tags. and to see if it's case-sensitive. There should be thousands of results.
