Search matches fields it is not supposed to about strawberry HOT 8 CLOSED

Working on rewriting the entire search, so we might improve this too.

I tested Clementine and it works even with whitespaces after colon like you said, so I became curious and looked into why, and I see it's because it's written quite differently, it just appends everything you type to the search query, while strawberry specifically expects a token after the colon, and ignores it otherwise. I didn't even remember this, but I remember it now.
So I made a fix now so it strips off whitespaces after colon, this way it works with whitespaces in between too.

Just now I have that search result, I can't even explain. It just seems wrong, as none of the search criteria match:

Make sure you do not have space between "title:" and the search term, otherwise it will search for the search term in all tags, as the actual search term for title will be treated as blank.

Ah, I see! Thank you for answering! And in general for your work!
I recently switched from clementine and if I correctly recall, the space didn't matter.
I wonder if it's worth asking as a feature request to remove the blank(s) before the first word of the search term?
Anyhow I'll close this, as the bug is on me.
Have a good day!

As it just comes to mind:
One thing I was always missing in clementine and I think it's the same for strawberry is a way to define a search term as "strict" or in other words "exact".
For example, as I have a lot of latin tracks, a search for very general short words like "title:soy yo" brings up hundreds of matches. It would be nice for me to let strawberry just look for titles exactly named "soy yo".

Wow, great!

Should be fixed
