And “artist:jack johnson” will search for “jack” in the artist field, and for “johnson” in the default field (title).

artist:"jack johnson" searches for "jack johnson" in it.

O btw the search server I have setup I'm thinking that it might be useful to some people
2015-03-03 06208, 2015
michaeljames
so I'm thinking of sharing the AWS AMI instance publicly and have issues and docs on github

ruaok, we can just make MB point to michaeljames' search instance and we won't have to host the search servers ourselves anymore! \o/
