If you use a power search, use an exact title match.  The clause should look
like this for your example:

program.title='House'

I'm not sure why you'd want multiple title searches for the same show.

Is there some reason this won't meet your needs?

Also, if you already have an episode of the show in your listings, you can
simply tell MythTV to record all episodes of that show on that channel or
all channels.
