There are a handful of songs that evillyrics has a tough time getting the right lyrics for.  Sometimes a song will have different lyrics in the live version than the studio.  Sometimes songs have identical names. 

I thought, what about a seperate search bar where you type in a few words from the song, and it finds the song for you?  I guess thats the same thing as google, but it would be neat if evillyrics could parse it too.

Just try to type those words into "song name" bar in EvilLyrics.
EvilLyrics accepts first 3 words of artist name and first 3 of song name ... separated by dash ... for example ...

let's assume EvilLyrics would not be able to find the lyrics for a song "Coldplay - Parachutes" as Parachutes is also a name of a coldplay's album or whatever ...
so let's add some less frequent word from the lyrics you remember ... ie like this: "Coldplay - Parachutes haze" and press enter ...
lyrics should get downloaded and saved under original name "Coldplay - Parachutes" so that next time you play the song it gets displayed even without adding the word "haze"
