Describe the bug
whenever i search for a lyric to a song it oftens get the wrong song, often for a different artist even tough the artist name has the correct, altough if i put the name of the artist/band it works as expected

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (with the song forest as an example):

go on the song selection page with all the songs downloaded
Click on the song "forest" by system of a down
it shows a song that is entirely unrelated
put the band name in the song title
it then works as expected, showing forest by system of a down

Expected behavior
it should filter to show lirycs from the band/artist of the song you selected, instead of having no effect

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Device: Poco x3 pro
OS: MIUI 14 (android 13)
App version 4.2.1

This is not an issue of the app but the provider. Anyways we will take a look at what we can do. @Lambada10

I'm guessing that the provider is LRCLib, because the current impl searches using the song name only: github.com/Lambada10/SongSync@99785b8f55/app/src/main/java/pl/lambada/songsync/data/remote/lyrics_providers/others/LRCLibAPI.kt (L24-L29)

I tried to use the api with the song name and artist separated by a space and it worked fine, maybe it should be updated to include the artist name
or we could use track_name and artist_name parameters (instead of q) in the api search for more accurate results

I can make a PR if you want me to
