Hi,
I'm trying to do something that seems simple but I can't find a way to do
it right. I want a query to look for *exactly* album artist value I
specify. When I do "beet ls -a albumartist:Queen" I'd like to see only the
albums from Queen, and only Queen. Instead, it gives me this:
beet list -
Hey,
Try: beet ls -a albumartist::^Queen$
What you're looking for is a regex query. You can read more about them

Although the given solution works, it's much slower than the raw
substring query. Would be nice to get that optimized in the future. (My
library is large.)
