Yes, I think they're the same problem. I believe I've tracked that
comparison down to Contributor.pm:142, where it checks whether the
artist is already in the database and adds it if it isn't. It's doing
that comparison based on the NAMESEARCH column (as you suspected) and
so, becuase I've changed it, it'll never find it and always think it's
got to create a new one.

There's not much I can do about that, I don't think, as there isn't a
convenient way of getting involved in that comparison. I've posted to
the developers' list to see whether that comparison can be changed to
one based on NAME instead or, if not, whether I can have my own column
in the database. If neither of those are possible then I'm at a dead
end of trying to fix the problem, I think.
