MusicBrainz search. This combines the six other commands into one and provides
features the others don't. By default, the command searches MusicBrainz by
artist without advanced query syntax, limited to 25 results per page.

The -type switch can be used to search for release group (-type release_group),
release (-type release), track (-type track), label (-type label), CD stub
(-type cdstub), FreeDB (-type freedb), or by annotation (-type annotation). The
default is -type artist

The -limit switch specifies how many results to search per page. The default is
-limit 25.

The -adv switch turns on/off MusicBrainz's advanced query syntax (examples
below). The choices are "-adv on" and "-adv off" (without quotes). See the
MusicBrainz documentation[1] for more information. The default is -adv off.
