Mike, I hear what you're saying and I fully understand about it being a text field.
But then I question the value of even having a keyword field at all. Since it's a free text field, any spelling, even incorrect ones, are accepted. If you spell something wrong, you may never find it again unless you happen upon it in Edit Song. Since it doesn't show up on any list, you may never find that incorrect field again. You can search all you want on the term "Robert Burns" but if you accidentally spelled it "Robert Bursn" you're outta luck! Also, you may not remember what keywords are in there without looking at individual songs.
I guess you're right. Just put it in the custom fields instead. It removes any difficulties
