This is to the best of my memory.
- First, there's a server setting that affects whether your search
string will be matched only at the beginning of words or anywhere
within words. Note the _words_ part. Words begin either at the
beginning of the string or after a space. Find it at:
Settings > My Music > Search Within Words
If you set it to 'within words' then 'body' will match both 'Body and
Soul' and 'Everybody's Gone'.
- Searches are case insensitive.
- It does a simple string match on the _entire_ string that you
enter. If you search for 'soul body', then you're looking for that
exact string. It's not like a web search where you're searching for
something containing the two words 'soul' and 'body'.
- All of the data strings that can be searched (artist, album name,
track title, etc) have a 'search' version stored in the database.
These fields have all punctuation characters replaced by spaces, and
multiple spaces are folded into a single space. This is why 'body
soul' matches 'Body & Soul'.
- The same thing is done for the search string entered. Searching
for 'body & soul' is the same as searching for 'body soul'. If you
were to search for 'coleman &#%@ ^$- +! hawkins' it will find
'Coleman Hawkins'.
