declension
commented
1 year ago Without rewriting the parser a lot I don't think this is doable.
The root issue is that QL autodetects (semi-)structured queries and free-text queries, and naked spaces as musicbrainz album type=live will be detected as raw search terms .
I just checked and that turns into:
<Tag names=['musicbrainz album type'], res=<Regex pattern='live' modifiers='d'>>
so unexpectedly perhaps it's parsed as any of those space separated tags can be set to live. Not sure how many people use that though of course.

Steps to reproduce
I’m trying to find live tracks. The most reliable way in my collection would be searching for MusicBrainz Picard’s Release Type tag.
When using FLAC, a search for "releasetype=live" works fine, but not for MP3: The tag is even suggested when I start typing "musicbrainz" but apparently tag names containing blanks cannot be accessed:
The search gets green but displays no results. I do have many albums that have "TXXX:MusicBrainz Album Type=album; live".
Expected Output
Search working (tag names containing blanks working), at least using some workaround like putting the name in '' or "".
Even better: Tag mapping like MusicBrainz Picard implemented, so we could search for "releasetype" and find it in all supported file types.
Having the same internal names for tags in Picard and Quod Libet would greatly enhance the user experience. Fortunately, many already work (or seem to).
Actual Output
Empty result.
Test System
Which version of Quod Libet?
4.5.0
Which operating system
Linux Mint 21.2/Cinnamon
If it's audio-related, what back-end?
