Jiri, nowhere search defined to search the "artist title", whatever that is.
The user reasonably expectes that search searches the field(s) it says it is going to search. If the track list shows a value for Artist, then searching Artist for that value should find that track. Anything else is crazy. If MM starts making random undocumented exceptions like this, the user will never be able to trust the search feature.

MM's special interpretation of ';' as an artist separator should having nothing to do with search. I.e. the special ';' interpretation made by the Artist /node/ should not interefe with the proper operation of search. Search's exclusion of ';' gives the user no advantage, and considerable disadvantage.
