Kae/Kate Tempest

I was just searching for "Kate Tempest" and did get no search result. To get to the album review I was looking for I tried the album title instead and so found out that she now wants to be referred to as Kae, which I had no knowledge of. With all respect to this personal decision, I think it is kind of irritating that the whole Tempest-entry is wiped clear of the fact that it was formerly Kate. Still all the body of work to this point is actually credited to Kate Tempest, but the reviews deny any such hint. More so the biography doesn't give such hint either ... but isn't that what a biography is supposed to do, tell of a personal developement? Who, like me, does not know the fact, is completely lost with this matter and that's not what I expect of an encyclopedia tool AMG is. Isn't it possible to explain the issue in the texts and to keep both keywords in the searching machine? I see a point in it that Kae stopped being Kate, but I think AMG being a tool documenting the work & life of artists should find a way to do so while respecting the artists' feelings. To make it short: At least typing "Kate Tempest" in the search engine should still lead to the albums that (physically) still bear the name Kate Tempest, don't you think?
