Here's my proposed command:
smartsearch "this is my query"
It would be identical to how most audio players search - Amarok, Rhythmbox,
iTunes, Winamp, etc.
The query is broken into words ['this', 'is', 'my', 'query'] and each word
is independently matched against the artist, title, and album concatenated
together.
So if I have a song like this:
{
artist: "The Burning Awesome",
album: "Crunchy Beats and Techno Treats",
title: "The Castle"
}
These searches will match this song:
burn eat cas
cruNcHy treats
the aWE le
These searches will *not* match this song:
burninggggg
the burning aweSUCK
castle crunchy beat treat ZZZZ
"smartsearch" is kind of a dumb name. I don't really care what the command
is named, I just want it to exist.
