Ludek 2019-01-02 13:26 developer ~0051905	When I search for "beatles" via search bar then I get both "beatles" and "the beatles" as expected: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6uutxng2io81cwk/Screenshot%202019-01-02%2014.24.33.png?dl=0 When I search for "the beatles" then I get "the beatles" as expected: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d78bpki3jue5rr7/Screenshot%202019-01-02%2014.25.21.png?dl=0 So I don't see any issue here, please be more descriptive and elaborate what the issue is.

peke 2019-01-03 05:58 developer ~0051918	Corrected I was referring to Artist Bio Search or Using Find More from same Artist For group "The Prodigy" result is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prodigy_(rapper) which Wikipedia itself tells "Not to be confused with The Prodigy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prodigy

peke 2019-01-16 03:08 developer ~0052093 Last edited: 2019-01-16 03:14	Another very popular example is "The Jam" resulting in https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jam To Sum: Internal Search is OK with searching without THE, but online Search fail in Artist BIO.

michal 2019-01-17 16:23 developer ~0052099	Adjusted in build 2149. But note, it will never be perfect, because sometimes it is hard to determine correct result, that is why we have possibility to change selection using "Wrong artist" menu. Sometimes "the" in artist name can cause even worse results, e.g. when searching "The Beatles - Love", Lucene searching does not find correct album at all (and without "The" it finds correct one)... Now we are removing "The" from artist name in album searching, where it was causing worse results, and not removing when searching for artist. Hopefully it will be better now.

peke 2019-01-20 01:43 developer ~0052131	Verified 2149 Much better.

peke 2020-01-22 22:36 developer ~0056131	Re verified 2222 No regressions and tests show all accurate searches.
