Tbh, I spied them from Picard. :)

Look on the screenshot with Not Doubt - Don't Speak. If we don't know
what album is It from, we get a lot of "best" matches, I agree that
this track was ripped from one of this albums, but how tagger must
know about It (and I'm pretty sure that user don't know It either)? :)

Less noise? I thing It will look like colorful parrot. Does It
interesting for a user to know how wrong separate field is? I think
the main reason why He/She started this search is to identify this
track - find If not exactly the same but at leas the most similar.

It would be great if It could work. The only thing that I could do to
reduce results count - increase minimal similarity level to threshold
more results. And what kind of testing do you mean? The only info you
have about track (in common) title, artist and duration, and you can
not completely trust to any of them (title and artist can be wrong,
and track can be shrank or It just some Live version, so even duration
can screw up). So in real I don't know how to make It better.

This is not the real radio button, this is a check box which looks
like radio button, so It can be unchecked. :)
