SUMMARY
When using the musicbrainz search to add an entry in for a music collection all the searches are sent to the server in quotes meaning that an exact match is searched.
This is fine for title and artist search if you remember exactly waht to search for but it will produce no results for a partial key.
The Keyword searh mode also send the query in quotes so is not possible to mix artist and album name in the search.
This is just a minor inconvinien in the search but it may be easly solved by removin the quotes for the search at least for the Keyword search mode.
If instead this is the intended behavior it may be good to allow the raw search that seems to be supported in src/fetch/musicbrainzfetcher.cpp but not allowed in src/fetch/musicbrainzfetcher.h

P.S. Thanks for tellico!


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a music collection
2. Add new entry from internet
3. select keyword search 
4. search for "lily allen - no shame"

OBSERVED RESULT
No results are returned.

EXPECTED RESULT
Some result are found.

RUn a general query for Keyword searches in MusicBrainz

Rather than limiting to release, artist, or label, just run a general
query, without quotes, to allow the most user-flexibility.
