      Often a very useful way to find the right release in MB is to just do a label + catno search. We should have a quick way of doing that

          [MBS-12301] Add a way to search MB with label + catno

          This was a ticket about the old Geordi importer which has long been discontinued, but the comments seem to all be about the standard MusicBrainz search so rather than closing the ticket I'll move it to MBS (maybe should be SEARCH). IIRC we already support this for barcode (in addition to the specific barcode:X search), so it might be possible to do the same for catno.

          Had to do a bit of digging to find out why the default search doesn't let you just search by catalog numbers... Guess it's still a quirk in MB's search? It'd be convenient if you can search without having to remember to specify "catno:" since that's what a lot of users will do to find an album. I thought it queried all fields if you did an indexed search this entire time lol

          quickest than « mr catno:VICL-60761 » → « http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=catno:VICL-60761&type=release&limit=100&method=advanced »
          ☜ you can create this kind of search in your browser too I guess.
