"lyrics custom search" and "lyrics in highlighting rules"

[tompeto]

I wonder if it's possible to do a custom search using lyrics tag:

<Lyrics> contain "a word"

and also the use of <lyrics> tag in highlighting rules, I often write "instrumental" or "no lyrics" on instrumental songs lyrics tag.

Thanks

Search box supports it with Lyrics field selected for Specific Fields search.
For no lyrics tracks, it's handy to use "mark as having no lyrics" (it's saved to database only), then "lyrics?" tag gives "N [no lyrics]" for those tracks. Have a look at this: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=7974.msg79309#msg79309

Yes, the save to database only is complicated...
Once I had to reinstall MB from scratch and lost all the play counts and last played. I would have lost the marked has having no lyrics files.

I had never noticed the "search specific field" LOL   Thank you

If that's the concern, you could auto-copy "lyrics?" field to a custom tag saved into files like this: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12987.0
Of course, you could keep your manual tagging if that serves you better.
