This feature would add the ability to query the local bibliography file based on the values of the fields it contains.
Note: subcommand name is still undecided so for examples the name will be query
This proposal would require an accepted format for querying field and their values respectively. The style/syntax that comes to mind is the same that is used in the output for unresolved entries field: value.
An example of querying by author would be:
seb query "author: stefan edelkamp"
This would then display each entry that matches this query.
Questions
Does this undermine the need for #101? (by entry type could be type: book for example)
Query should be case insensitive but should close matches count too or be separate results? (lev distance)
Should the query support regex and if so full or simple support? (this might clash with point above)
