That would maintain the exact representation of metadata tags also for the baloo database. When searching is left to baloo, it already splits up strings at whitespace etc., so you can provide the string as is. As far as I can see, in some cases (e.g. "ARTIST"), the `Taglib::StringList PropertyMap::operator[]` is first joined (`.toString(';')`) and then split again. How about avoiding that in the first place?
