Hi, Bob - we've never had much luck with that "Lyrics & Knowledge Search" in the grey box. It has a number of quirkinesses. I don't know how many search engines we have at Mudcat - maybe ten. Different searches work best for different things.

In the very first message of the Mudcat FAQ - Newcomer's Guide I've tried to provide instructions for all our different search engines.

And as some have suggested, Google can be the best Mudcat search engine of all. Today, I wanted to find the song I know as "I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me," but I knew it has several titles. So I searched for a couple of phrases from the song that would be common to every version. I came up with this search and typed it into the Google search box: "someone to call me" "tonight in the moonlight" mudcat.org

And if you still can't find something, ask me or another moderator.
