      Soundtracks with songs that have an identical title creates confusion in search results.

      Currently in the main search and the relate to search the work type does not show up in the results. This in turn leads to the use of disambiguations (at least on my part) to make clear what is part of a work (such as a soundtrack) and what is the collecting work.

      In one case here there is Team Fortress 2 (video game soundtrack) and Team Fortress 2 (part of TF2).

      They have a relationship where Team Fortress 2 is a part of Team Fortress 2.

      I would move that we either add work types to the search results (especially in the relate to view) or amend the style to allow self titled works to indicate that they are part of said overall work.
