I'm pretty sure SC's search doesn't search through comment data.  I'm a
heavy and obsessive user of the comment tag in my flacs...usually
listing all the personnel in chamber ensembles and sometimes the entire
roster of an orchestra or choir.  None of those names can be searched
on.

For the OP: I settled on the this tagging scheme several years ago and
it seems adequate for classical music given SC's current tag parsing
abilities:

PERFORMER == composer
ALBUMTITLE == Major Work - Soloist, Ensemble Name, Principal Member

Thus: 

PERFORMER == Bach, C P E
ALBUMTITLE == Cello Concertos - Anner Bylsma, Orchestra of the Age of
Enlightenment, Gustav Leonhardt

That way I can search on any of these: "C P E", "Cello Concerto",
"Bylsma", "Enlightenment", "Leonhardt" .. and have the album show up in
the list of found albums. Searching on "Leonhardt" just now turned up 25
albums by various composers where Leonhardt is part of the album title. 
What's missing from SC's search utility, imho, is any awareness of
boolian search operators: e.g. "Leonhardt AND Bach" currently turns up
nothing.
