How about inserting the TStringList entry by entry, without using the contactsFromString method? That would maintain the exact representation of metadata tags also for the baloo database.</p></div>

<p>When searching is left to baloo, it already splits up strings at whitespace etc., so you can provide the string as is.</p>
<p>As far as I can see, in some cases (e.g. "ARTIST"), the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Taglib::StringList PropertyMap::operator[]</tt> is first joined (<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">.toString(';')</tt>) and then split again. How about avoiding that in the first place?</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R286 KFileMetaData</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D20526">https://phabricator.kde.org/D20526</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>mgallien, astippich, bruns<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kde-frameworks-devel, Baloo, gennad, domson, ashaposhnikov, michaelh, astippich, spoorun, ngraham, bruns, abrahams<br /></div>
