I know its better to use the HAS function but I find for artists like "No Doubt" that it returns any song that has the word "NO" in it. Actually this might be because of my findings below as well.

Actually I figured out whats going on with this vbs script. If you have an artist or album or trackname with more than 1 word (i.e. there is a space in your string) the arguments are not passed into the script correctly causing only the first word of your search string to actually be sent to the winamp media library query. I've modified the script so that it works for me. I can post if anyone is interested.

For example if you're trying to search for "No Doubt" the script only passes "artist HAS No" to the search query. I guess this would explain why I'm getting every song that has "no" in it!! DOH!!!
