Thank you everyone for the ideas. A few problems though:

Tried doing this. Went to "search" from the web interface. I put in a
partial string and it came up. I clicked on it and told it to record
every time on this channel. It did not use the info from the search
string, but rather the title that I clicked on to bring up the
recording menu. Does this make sense? Is what you recommended
something I have to do from the Frontend or Backend? (ie. not the web
interface.)

Sounds like a great idea, but i haven't the foggiest idea where to (or
how to!) for that matter input this kind of manual recording profile.
Looked around a bit and did not find a menu option. I am trying to
record a show that comes on every wednesday at 10pm and a specific
channel, but always has a different title.

Any ideas?
Thanks for your help (again!) in advance,
Sincerely,
David
