For what it's worth, I've been discussing search issues with the CDBaby folks. 
I got the same response as Lori, initially, but we then discussed the issue 
that the CD was not, in fact, classified by the artist as "Jewish", it comes up 
when one searches for "Jewish" as "contains the search term in the 
description." (And apparently similar results place it in the "top 10 Jewish 
list"). They claim that they will look at ways to restrict such CDs from 
appearing in search on "Jewish".
We'll see. But it was heartening that they were willing to entertain the 
technical discussion, and that they realized that there was an issue. (I would 
not go so far as to say that they were eager to deal with the issue, or that 
they will, just that they were willing to discuss how it might be dealt with.)
