[Developers] import tool

[Christopher Dummy]

Excellent! Another suggestion. It seems like some of the searching
doesn't work well with punctuation. For example: I was trying to add a
Podcast and the text I entered was:

             People.com This Weeks Buzz

the real title of the podcast was:

              People.com: This Week's Buzz

But, it doesn't show up at all in the list. The only thing that shows
up is "Tiger Woods", as a Topic, Person, Golfer.

It seems like the Podcast should show up in the list.  Also, I've had
other ones, where I search for  "SomenameOfSomething", and the real
title was "SomenameOfSomething.com", and it would not show up at all
unless I entered the exact text.

If you want other examples, I'm sure I can give you more.
