Thinking about this a bit more... finding stuff is one problem. But I think the 
big remaining issue is the sorting/presentation: on Google I don't care to get 
100k results, as long as I can find what I'm looking for within the first 10 
results. I'd like to achieve the same with the FTS in LMS. Therefore I'd be 
interested how this sorting fails for you. Doe the tracks you were expecting as 
the result not show up at all, or in the wrong position? Eg. would you be 
happier if the two tracks you mentioned were at the top, so you could ignore 
the long tail?

There is some weighting going on in the background. Titles have higher priority 
than artists than lyrics etc. But let's say your search term shows up 10x in 
the comments of some track, but only once in the title of what you're looking 
for, then you might currently get the wrong results first. Therefore I'd like 
to understand what you're getting, and why you're getting those results.
