Here it's a little better: we do index id3, and we do expose them to search, but there is no handy search predicate for them (https://perkeep.org/doc/search-ui), so you have to build search constraints. either with 'pk search', or as a "raw" predicate in the search bar. For example: raw:{"permanode": {"attr": "camliContent", "valueInSet": {"file": {"mediaTag": {"tag": "title", "string": {"hasPrefix": "Bohemian"}}}}}} would give you the permanodes for the files which have an ID3 title starting with "Bohemian". > 4.

As a corollary of the previous questions, you can only do the second part that request for now. > 5.

Yes, I think you're asking for the search constraints/query I mentioned above. See https://perkeep.org/pkg/search#SearchQuery and the 'pk search' command. > Are these items possible and aligned with the goals of Perkeep? I don't want > to stick a square peg in a round hole.
