A FTS for "beet sym 5" returns the 4 different versions at the top of
the Albums results, but a search for "beet sym 1" gets only one version
although there are 5 in the library.
Is there some kind of negative weighting for search results with "1" in
them ?

Ok, here's some of my findings:

- hits on the most important values (title) need a higher weight. "Das Leid von der Erde" comes with a massive amount of lyrics and descriptions. The search term "1" alone has > 1200 hits in there. A weight of 100 on title matches can't compensate for this...

- even with a much higher weight you would get more other symphonies than no. 1, because you eg. have albums like "Symphony No. 9 - Orchestra of the 18th Century," which would result in the same number of hits in the title, thanks to the 18th century.

One suggestion for you would be to use "no 1" (in quotes) in the search term. This would put the five versions of Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in the top 6 results.

I'll need to think about how to further improve weighing of the results to get better matches. Thanks for you file. This gives me another great playground to work with.
