Search quotes for word boundary specificity?

[Milkii Brewster]

Searching genre:electro brings up electronic, electronica, electroacoustic, etc.

Searching with quotes, genre:"electro" gives the same set of results.

How about making it so that using quotes requires the search string word end to match the result string word end?

Using quotes allows to include spaces, but I don't think it should require an exact match. How about using ^ and $ like in regexes?

Or maybe "electro "?

[Milkii Brewster (mxmilkiib)]

Ah, so yes, "electro " does work.

Now what one might expect from Google but hey :)

Easiest option would just be to mention this behaviour in the library/search section of the manual?

Sure, a Pull Request for the manual repository would be appreciated. https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual

For me, using quotes would be also the a solution I would try first.

Is the use case for searching for a space between words without giving the full word?

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

This would be still possible without a closing "
