Based on the way his songs are entered, I suspect that is why!

How do we get Hoster to recognize them when he opens Search Database?

As you say it's the way he entered them originally.
You can no longer do a wild card * search in this version search dialog so if he wants to do his searches with the * he will have to go back to an earlier version witch he can do from the download link I gave you before probably version 5.03 and select the upgrade option even though he is actually downgrading.

What I would suggest though is he clicks on the header bar above Title field and drags it wider, on the Artist field that only shows undefined drag it narrower.
Now it may be he enters too longer string in the search box and causes it not to find what he is searching for. Example: Cracklin' Rose (as listed in my database), if you enter crackling Rose in the search field it finds nothing but enter either cracklin or rose and it will find it.
You have to understand how the search works. same with artist If you search for Neil Diamond it may not find it if the file is named as Diamond, neil. but enter diamond or neil and it will find it whichever way it is listed in the database.
