Include results matching 'and' when '&' is in search query, and vice-versa

What is the problem you are facing?

When the search query includes and or &, I would like to have the returned results also search for tracks/artists matching both and and &. For example, suppose that the tracks Red & Black and Red and Black are present on the server. Then searching for either Red and Black or Red & Black would return both.

Mockup:

What are the possible drawbacks or issues with the requested changes?

Search results involving and or & would no longer be literal. However (I believe) funkwhale already does fuzzy matching, so this isn't a huge concern.

Context

Many online media services including Spotify already perform this sort of substitution.
