Despite I enter the search term exactly, the results are inaccurate and very often the desired result is shown down in the list…

Latest example: search for  “Andrew Odd”. There is an atrist with this name. The serarch result show all kind of Andrew-named artists, like Andrew Gold, Andre Ward, Andrew Bond, etc., only the 10th in the list is Andrew Odd.

The same gos for track, except, here randomness is much higher, the track I’m looking for is much down in the list.

Please correct the search engine, so that the exact matches must have the highest ranking and must be placed in the very beginning of the search result list.

Any questions, please let me know. =)
 

@Johnathan Finotti It is still a problem: 

For example this album: 

 

So when I search Depeche Mode it is normal to only see every artist / song called "Delpeche" and NO mention of Depeche Mode ... 🙄

Not the user friendliest approach. Neither is the explanation that the user must use quotation marks ...
