We are having similar difficulties with near match names. The system is symply not allowing for exactness. And we should not have to come up with work-arounds to make it more exact.
E.g.: an Author/Creator contains exact phrase "Coleridge, Samuel" to our understanding should only pull up the poet: Coleridge, Samuel Taylor and NOT material by the composer "Coleridge-Taylor, Samuel", but it does. This renders the Name Authority essentially useless. Perhaps we don't understand what "contains exact phrase" means in VE. Is it a proximity search that is weighted toward exact, or is it simply another filtered keyword search? It certainly does not appear to be a string search, as one might be led to believe.
I appreciate Cindy Bowen's comment on Henry VIII - an ideal example. The new system should be making searches like this easier, and it is instead introducing chaos.
