Ability to search in comments

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: f-spot

After fiddling with F-spot's tagging system for half a year or so, I've found that I have lots and lots of tags. Although this makes finding stuff easier, I've noticed that it also makes navigating through tags much more cumbersome.

As an example: If I've visited a science museum in my city -Valencia- that means I have to use two tags in the Places category to be able to find those photos easily: "science museum" and "Valencia". I'd rather just add "Valencia" and the information relevant to that specific trip in the comment field. But since there is no way to search the comments, that would mean I couldn't find those photos easily later on.

So please, could there be a search bar somewhere that looks for comment text?

comment from upstream:

"you can already search in comments and filenames using the type-to-find bar
(activated by /).
there's no gui for this but it's written in the user manual.
