Any good reasons to stray further from original release title other than 
your personal preference?

1) Using the singular is illogical when there are two.

2) As for searching, I guess what you really need is software which 
provides regular expression searches. Searching for "Symph.* 4" would 
return both English and German releases.

If you're on Linux you have all you need in the "find" command. (Boy, 
how I wish my SqueezeBox software was better here...)
