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.)
