Media library searching multiple inputs

Hi!

Been using foobar for a couple of weeks now and there is one function I'm missing!
I wish to query multiple search results in the same media library search easily.

For example returning results for all songs that contain strings "lois armstrong" or "billie holiday" in one query.
Neither comma , nor the vertical bar | works (as they usually do in other programs).
Code: [Select]
louis armstrong|billie holiday

Code: [Select]
louis armstrong, billie holiday

Is this possible to achieve in any easy way?

Regards
Nick

With the current syntax, the shortest way is:

Code: [Select]
* HAS louis armstrong OR * HAS billie holiday

Ah thanks, although that seems a bit too advanced for the average user.

This may be a bit off but do you think theres any chance this could be simplified in future updates?
