artists with similar names should score similarly in search.

For example:
Masaki Suzuki
Masaaki Suzuki

Search for either of them, and you'll see that while the correct result is at the top with a score of 100, the other result is down much further with a score of 31.

Obviously having a difference of one letter should allow them to score similarly.

And importantly, this causes the second artist to fall down to page 2 (or beyond) of the quicksearch.
