Tried another test with (Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown).

(Gatemouth) found 14 primary artists with, or without, "Gatemouth" quoted.

("Gatemouth") found 16 tracks, the prior 14 plus 1 as an additional artist and 1 in comments.

I think this has something to do with the fact that MM seems to not search within words. Searching for treets will not find Streets. Thus, Cannonball wouldn't find "Cannonball" because the "word" begins with a quote.

EDIT: Well now... it would seem that a string inside quotes will search within a word. "treets" will find Streets. I think that's a little backwards... *scratches head*

I was looking for (Julian "Cannonball" Adderley) in my library.

I have Involved People checked for tool bar search and the artist is included for the album Miles Davis - Kind of Blue.

Searching (without the parentheses) for (Cannonball) did not include Kind of Blue in results but searching for ("Cannonball") worked.
