Can't you filter " Ye " or something like that?

No cause then you'd filter out everything with "Ye" in the name, and miss out on a lot of cool bands like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yello, Yes, Yella, and Yeti.

That depends on how the filter is implemented.

If it's well implemented it should include the whitespace in the filter.

I would assume that the filters are case insensitive and filter whitespace but I don't know for sure. I should test some stuff out.

"contains" filters are so fickle. They are the filters you want to use the most but they are very unreliable
