It's certainly nice that catalog numbers and other stuff is taken into account when searching, but an album called "21" getting a score of 49 when release searching for "21" is a bit weird.
Search hasn't failed, the first result matches on both title and catalogno, the second matches on just catalogno and because 21 as a value in a catalog field is rarer than in the title field it scores higher than matching on title.
