Recognition fails if year is present and filename matches MAL/Anilist alt title

[SacredZenpie]

Example:
Romaji name: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. Zoku: Kitto, Onnanoko wa Osatou to Spice to Suteki na Nanika de Dekiteiru
Alt name (on anilist): Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku OVA

Filename: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku OVA - gets recognized no problem
Filename: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku OVA (2016) - fails

This is intentional. See #917 (comment).

I understand, my question is more of a why isnt it being applied to both the actual name and alt name. Why is it only applied to the alt names that is. There are more anime that I can think of that have year in their official title than as synonym.

If the anime title in the filename is "Something OVA (2016)", than either the main title or one of the synonyms has to be the same, "Something OVA" is not enough for a match. In this case, you manually add "Something OVA (2016)" as an alternative title and Taiga is able to identify it afterwards.
