Description

This PR introduces a distance threshold mechanism to the Genius backend and unifies its implementation across the rest of backends that perform searching and matching artists and titles.

  • Create a new SearchBackend base class with a method check_match that performs matching.
  • Start using undocumented dist_thresh configuration option for good, and mention it in the docs. This controls the maximum allowable distance for matching artist and title names.

These changes aim to improve the accuracy of lyrics matching, especially when there are slight variations in artist or title names.

Fixes #4791

To Do

  • Documentation. (If you've added a new command-line flag, for example, find the appropriate page under docs/ to describe it.)
  • Changelog. (Add an entry to docs/changelog.rst to the bottom of one of the lists near the top of the document.)
  • Tests. (Very much encouraged but not strictly required.)

Have just discovered that it is not anymore possible to search lyrics on Tekstowo since search results are now shown within a Google container which is not parseable.

This commit introduces a distance threshold mechanism for the Genius and
Google backends.

- Create a new `SearchBackend` base class with a method `check_match`
  that performs checking.
- Start using undocumented `dist_thresh` configuration option for good,
  and mention it in the docs. This controls the maximum allowable
  distance for matching artist and title names.

These changes aim to improve the accuracy of lyrics matching, especially
when there are slight variations in artist or title names, see #4791.
