Emby search weirdness

[DonMacaroni 54]

Not really Synology specific I think, but I found some weirdness on Emby search on Music at least.

When I search “megamix” via Emby, I get back ~30 results, even under songs tab. But when I search actual filesystem, I get back over 100 that is all I have, which is weird because I can definitely see those when I navigate to them manually in Emby.

It really feels like, there is some artificial limit, how many items to return.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Were there any changes (related to this), not listed in changelog?

4.8.4.0 returns correct results, according to my observation.

Some adjustments, yes. Thanks for the feedback.

Discovered something more.

When you search song title "Thunder" and switch to Songs tab, it lists everything containing string "Thunder". Not only songs, but albums which names contain that string for example "Thunderdome", as well. To my understanding, Songs tab should only list songs, not Albums? And no, none of those additional songs showing up have "Thunder" in their title or part of it.

This is by design, although the ones matching the album should be lower in the search rankings.

In fact they are lower, thanks for explaining.
