After more thought I propose the following:

My original requirement was the most likely scenario of a user doing an ignore title based search (so looking for duplicate authors) and on finding a group wanting to rename the authors involved. Forget about tag browser authors for title based searches. Yes it is "possible" a duplicate author could be found that way but the workflow I would always recommend is to do your "ignore title" searches first which should ensure any author renaming is already handled. Then focus on looking for various title matches with identical authors.

So... a checkbox related to just author based searches should do the trick of "Highlight authors in tag browser for ignore title searches".

I then decided to draw boxes around *all* the authors in the current group in the tag browser. I think that works REALLY well to give visual focus to just the authors under consideration for this group. Obviously it doesn't apply to when viewing one group at a time, as all the authors would be boxed. Though I think it appropriate to have the tag browser visible and authors node expanded ready .

One decision left... should I offer people want the ability to tune the fuzziness of their soundex matches?
