can foobar search in tag like keywords & mood ?

hi
i use the last foobar stable version
i would like if foobar can search in my entire library for tag like keyboards and mood?
for example i have used musicbee to autotag using last.fm tag


i can see them with mp3tag , the tag mood and keywords
i have installed quicksearch and i have added %keywords% and %mood%
but it doesn't find them


and last thing , just to don't open 2 topics , is there a component that can help me to create complex autoplaylists "smart playst" maybe with a dialog when i can add several rules

thanks
happy new year to everyone !

For tags with multiple values you probably want facets (or Columns UI filter panels if not using the Default UI). I would make sure to check them there first to see if the tags are properly written as multivalue.

Your Quick Search settings seem fine so hard to say what is wrong. Maybe you set it to only match exact words?

You'll have to define what you mean by smart playlists. Facets should let you do a lot of filtering fairly easily and you can use query and titleformatting syntax in a lot of places, including Library/Search to handle some specific scenarios.

There are also autoplaylists which may or may not be what you would call smart playlists. Perhaps look up how to use those.

Did you add your music folder in File/Preferences/Media library?

Maybe some tags must be flagged as "non spam" (basic fields) in LargeFieldsConfig.txt?
