Summary0003407: Search of Multiple Definition Fields based on Primary field value
DescriptionCurrent implementation is that when the user searches for multiple definition fields (or any field for that matter):

Search for <Field>=x1, x2 means Search for <Field>=x1 or <Field>=x2
Search for <Field>|=x1, x1 means Search for <Field>|=x1 or <Field>|=x2

and, if the user wants to search for <Field>=x1 and x2, they must enter 2 separate queries in the search dialog.

BUT: with this implementation the user is a bit limited as they can't do the following:
Search for <Field>=x1 for the first/primary value of the field only
Search for <Field>|=x1 for the first/primary value of the field only
Search for <Field>=x1 and x2, AND <Primary value of Field>|=x2

Best example where this affects me is:
Search for Genre|=Classical, Comedy, Audiobook AND Primary Genre|=Children

A simple way of meeting this requirement would be to add the following to the Search criteria dialog:
- For any multiple value field, split the property into 2 i.e. Genre & Genre (primary); Mood & Mood (primary); etc. where 'Genre' refers to all Genres and and 'Genre (primary)' refers specifically to the first Genre.
