Johnny,
If you are indexing a catalog of songs and artists you can write a query parser
or search component that recognizes known things like song ("you must have
"bohemian rhapsody" in your catalog) or artist names (you must have the exact
string "queen" in your catalog) or even their combinations and rewrites the
query to be more structured and precise than what you are currently getting.
