Whilst there's no single tagging standard for every different format of digital audio file there are some fairly consistent standards across most players regarding the use of tag metadata, one you'll find consistent pretty much across the board is that album artists tag takes precedence over track artist when grouping tracks into albums, otherwise compilation albums don't work.
If some of the tags are missing or details are saved in the wrong fields then you're likely to run into problems when trying to find and play what you want whatever media player you use. So it all comes down to the consistency of your collection's metadata.
From my usage of Moode I've come to learn;
In Moode's tag and album views a search will return albums that have a title, precedent artist or year/date that matches the search string.
In folder view the search returns tracks matched from any tag, including composer, comment, url etc.
Like Tim and yourself I have a sizeable Jazz collection and I haven't seen a situation where the standard tagging structure has been insufficient. Classical can be complicated but most platforms struggle with classical metadata including the streaming services, Roon's probably the best one I've seen but Roon builds it's catalogue from both file tags and their cloud services.
