Certain filter values match files that should not be matched. I'll give you an actual example: When I type in "little of your time", it matches a song by that name, but it also matches "One Night in Bangkok". I've included screen shots of both the main window and the properties of "One Night in Bangkok" showing that it does not have any comments containing those words.

Did you check "View \> Extended Tags" ? It shows all tags.

Oh, I see. Thanks. Turns out there was a lyrics field in that mp3, which explains why that particular file was matching a lot of filters.
