Summary: can't do favorites title match against whole show title

Initial Comment:
I want to record the show "House" whenever it is broadcast on any station at 
any time.

If I configure my favorites that way, then every single show with the word 
"House" in it is recorded.

I can't find any way to tell freevo to just record the show "House", matching 
exactly.  I don't think I'm missing anything, but I'd be happy to be corrected 
:-).

I agree that it is useful to be able to do partial matches against titles.
 However, it *also* needs to be possible to do an anchored match, when
that's necessary, such as in the example I gave in my bug report.  I don't
know if the title matching is regexp-based; if so, then I could do it that
way, although it's not actually possible to edit the title of the show
either in the UI or over the Web -- I think I'd have to do that directly in
the XML file (should the ability to enter the show title through the UI be
logged as a feature request?).

There is clearly a problem here that needs to be solved.  There is
something I simply cannot do, i.e., recording all "House" episodes that run
without recording random other shows with "House" in their titles.

This *feature* is useful, sometimes different episodes start with the same
name but have a extra bit on the title, such as the episode name.
