Ian-Highlander 145 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Should the search have pagination? If so, mine doesn't. Having issues with the search not returning all results which makes it kind of pointless. Not sure if this is a bug, regression or a deliberate thing or just specific to my system. For example I search for "Now That's What I Call Music" and I get 30 albums returned and no "Page 2" option or similar. I have over 100 albums with that precise phrase in the name. Any ideas? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) You could always up the limit in the search.js. Emby-Server\System\dashboard-ui\scripts But note it will be reset with every server update. Edited November 22, 2015 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-Highlander 145 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks @@Happy2Play So there IS a 30 result limit, just upped that to 130 on mine and now get the right number of results back (until I find another search term that has more results). No offence intended guys but that limit's crazy given the size of libraries some people may have. It makes the search nearly useless in large libraries for certain terms. Surely there should be a paginated search result giving everything that matches as with just about any other search system in the world? I'll stick something in the feature request forum (assuming no one else has already done so) but really surprised it's not already there.

MikePlanet 140 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 +1 - imo it should work the same as other "internal searches" like person movies - first show a limited result set with a "show all" button" (to speed up initial search) and show all should display a paged full result list.

Guy 7 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) This is badly needed especially for metadata management. As it is I just use other metadata clients to add new media. Another problem with the current search engine (I might open up a new topic just for this) is that searching some terms does not bring up all the results. It basically requires you to be very specific instead of being more broad. Searching on the forums i came across this and this asking to "increase" the capability of the search engine or rather bring it up to parity with the way search engines should behave out of the box but it has been over a year and no progress has been made in this area.
