Clicking an artist name in Library that includes "The" at the beginning (The Offspring, The Beatles, The Main Drag, etc) pulls up no results for the artist.

@wraith oriole this seems to be caused by the artist sort attribute line in the exact match section of SongSearching::GetPredicate

SortAttribute.Artist => entry => SortString.RemoveArticle(entry.Artist.SearchStr) == filter.Argument, /* line 322 */

it seems like there was a reason why you made it this way, so I don't want to go touching this without knowing why that was and what errors may occur by changing it
