Low quality of search results

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

This bug is aiming for SRU as well, after it has went into quantal.

[Impact]

The quality of the search results is sadly not very high in the Music lens right now. Fx. typing "spears" gives exactly 1 result (!!!). Typing "britney spears" gives something more expected.

[Test case]

Testing for the bug:
 * Go to the music lens (hit super-m)
 * Search for "spears"
 * Observe 1 result called "Spear"
 * Search for "britney spears" and observe lots of results

Testing the fix:
 * Go to the music lens (hit super-m)
 * Search for "spears"
 * Observe lots of relevant results (>> 1 result :-))

[Regression Potential]

Getting more results perhaps resulting in getting worse first results, but in the case of this patch it seems unlikely.

Set up bug targets properly. This was released as a cherry-pick in precise, even though no new upstream release was made.
