Effective use of Music search

For some time, I've been experiencing some difficulty with the search function as it applies to the Music Store, via the Music App (or Itunes).


Here's an example: if I search for an artist, song, album, etc., and have one minor mis-spelling, the search fails. This is easy to encounter, especially today where artists use different letters and spelling to identify themselves. Is there some way I can enter regex or other items in the search bar to help mitigate this?


An example of how I feel this is done well is through popular search engines that can handle mis-spellings. But perhaps I'm missing a way to better utilize the search function here?


Has anyone encountered this. How did you improve the experience? Is there a better way I can utilize the indices/search to improve my searches? Please comment. Thanks!

I didn't realize there were issues with this beyond my experience -- wow (I read elsewhere, too). There have been times where I've tried to find and purchase iTunes Store music and just gave up as it was too confusing and tedious. Once, I went back and tried again with alternate spelling and got lucky -- Artists are creative with their naming (and they should be able to), but darn it! LOL
