That's too bad. _List does do the trick, but with how insanely long my freeformtags list is it's probably best to just match either/or.

For some reason when I looked at the column last night I could have sworn it was that type, but sure enough it's the "ampersand separated" one. It was pretty late I guess. It doesn't seem that one can edit the column type after it's created so I'll have to delete it, re-create, and then re-scrape the metadata? That's going to be fun.

Thanks a ton for the prompt and detailed reply! I can hardly even think of what my fic collection was like before this plugin. Keep up the awesome work!
