Results are compared to track exactly as you wrote - field to field,
but all this fields has different weights:
Title: 22
Artist: 6
Album: 12
Track number: 6
Track duration: 8
Probably I should change 'em.
Finder thresholds results by Its similarity level ( 70% minimum ), so
there is can not be any *Red* tracks. In case of discrete colors,
we'll get mostly all yellow and a couple of green ( 1..3 ) ( all
matching stuff case insensitive btw ). And I'm not agree with "* None
(or default background color) - If the is no difference", If we use
colors to indicate match ratio any user understand, that green is
good, red is bad and yellow ( orange ) is some transitive measure not
good not bad, something in between; But what uncolored items mean,
some results which program forgot to remove? May be I am very wrong,
but I think in this direction.
Good point about bottom line, I'll try. :)
