Can't search for album "Ha! Ha! Ha!" by title
Ultravox! released an album called "Ha! Ha! Ha!". I can't work out how to search for it by title in Rhythmbox 3.4.4.
Searching for ha! ha! ha!
or ha ha ha
seems to return all albums or tracks containing the substring ha
anywhere in the metadata, even once. For example, the entire album "...I Care Because You Do" is returned, I'm guessing because the metadata mentions "Richard James" as composer. (That field isn't shown, so I wouldn't expect it to be searched, but that's a separate issue.)
Searching for "Systems of Romance" works, so multi-word search works in general, it's just failing for this search. Searching for Ultravox!
brings up the three Ultravox! albums, but also "Systems of Romance" by Ultravox, which leads me to suspect that punctuation characters are removed from search strings. That might be desired behavior 1, but it shouldn't then lead to the rest of the search string being ignored. Maybe a stopword algorithm problem?

Personally I'd like to be able to search for the track
