Search fails due to featured artists in Title, or in Artist ID3 tags #34

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Update Lyrics for a song with:
2. (a) with feature artist included in 'Title'
3. (b) or, featured artist included in 'Artist'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should still be able to find lyrics

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1, on Vista x32

Please provide any additional information below.
You can address this issue by 
(a) first querying with the given title, if no results then remove text
after first occurrence or '(' or '[' or 'feat.' . This isn't perfect
solution but I think it will address the majority of the title mismatches.

(b) You should query the "Artist" using the "Album Artist" column if the
first query fails. "Artist" may include multiple contributors, so in many
cases "Album Artist" is more appropriate
