      Someone is going around removing valid aliases because indexed search order doesn't make sense for http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=sony+music+entertainment&type=label&limit=100&method=indexed

      But the quirks with relevancy apply to other searches, obviously - for example,
      http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=beat+records&type=label&method=indexed

      If someone is using inline search (pages of 10) to find "beat records", they would have to go to the next page to find the exact string match they entered. This feels wrong (as does mutilating the aliases of other things you don't want to show up)
