The documentation is a tad confusing (to me). My expectation is that a search by release for “barcode:123455679890” will yield the album. I am getting many “Barcode” results. What am I doing wrong?
You need to enable “Indexed search with advanced query syntax”:

With a smartphone, you can even scan your CD barcodes and launch the MB release searches (with this syntax), without typing anything
