My tags for artist R.E.M. are inconsistent. For some albums, I have "REM", elsewhere I have "R.E.M." and "R. E. M.". I guess freedb is inconsistent.
I have decided to stick with REM. A search for "REM" doesn't find "R.E.M.". I tried a standard search for "R." to find all other occurances. However, this search finds any artist that has an R in it. I assumed that punctuation was being ignored. I tried a search for "R.E.M.", which found exact matches for "R.E.M." but not "REM". A search for "R. E. M." also returned the same set of matches that "R.E.M." found. So it appears to do some kind of tailoring of the input search string, but I can't quite work out the rules. So I'm wondering how searching for punctuation actually works.
