recognize 'and' and '&' as the same in name matching and scraping #8

Please provide a description of the requested enhancement below.

recognize 'and' and '&' as the same in name matching and scraping. There
are many submissions that include either, and it may be the only difference
that keeps the image from downloading or displaying. 

example: 'Simon & Garfunkel' or 'Simon and Garfunkel'

Thanks

Hi,

I will considder this but are not sure I will implement it. They way I match is 
by 
using htbackdrops search funtion and this will be very problematic. I will get 
back to 
you on this.

cheers

Hi,

I can find no good way to implement this. Every choice has sever downsides to 
it so I 
have decided not to implement this.
