I have requested the creation of !mbar: advanced query release search.
To allow catalogue number or barcode searches, for instance.
Here is the summary of our current !bangs:
!mb<a><entity> <query>
<a> is optional:
-
!mbfor simple default indexed search -
!mbafor indexed advanced query syntax search
<entity> can be:
- Full entity type:
release,releasegroup,label, etc. - Abbreviated entity type:
r,rg,l, etc. - None: Defaults to an artist search
<query> is your search term(s) or advanced syntax query.
Examples
-
!mb bowie: Searches for Bowie artists -
!mbar catno:kicx*: Searches for releases which catalogue number starts with KICX -
!mbw love you: Searches for love you works
