Lyrics missing for music ending with "(live)"

Many discs’ track metadata is served with live recorded tracks ending with the characters “(live)”. However, those specific tracks’ lyrics are not found by Plex’ lyrics finder. The other tracks on the same album will be found. If I edit the track name of such tracks and remove the “(live)” from the end of it, then the lyrics are found!

These tracks were matched by Plex’ own matching engine, so there is a disconnect between the matching engine and the lyric finding engine. The easiest way to fix this would be for the lyric finder to ignore “(live)” at the end, or maybe any trailing mismatch on an individual track, when the overall album is matched.

(edit - for reference, I found this behavior on “Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits”)
