When I search for "Bowie", then everything from David Bowie is found, but also Queen & David Bowie, Lulu & David Bowie.

So that's how the filter should work.


You are hand picking which part of the artist tag to use as the search string. The challenge for the filter is how to determine from an arbitrary artist string which part to use as the search term.

For the Artist tag values below, how would the code determine which part to use as search string?

Queen & Bowie
Five & Queen
Lulu & David Bowie

You're right, it would be hard to determine, but what about the artis tags
 - Elvis Costello
 - Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Here we're speaking of one and the same person and his band.

I would probably not find everything I wanted....
