Incomplete Music search results

[TigerBeanst 4]

I have been try to use "Scan Library Files"

Emby Server Beta: v4.9.1.0.

For example, I search "林忆莲" in Emby:

 

It only show 4 songs.

But in fact, I have many songs—I can even click on the "Artist" for any of these four songs to jump to a full list of songs.

 

Screenshot on Emby Windows but happens on every client, and API too.

Hi, do all of those songs have that string in the title?

No, "林忆莲" is the Artist's name.

That means I am searching this artist to see all of her songs.

I try a artist with English name, and I even cannot find any songs.

Does this mean I can't search for songs by the artist's name?

Not currently, but we plan to add this in the future.

Currently you can use song title and album title.

Ok, thanks...

I am using a music app which connect to Emby, and cause this, I cannot search in my songs list just by artist's name to see all of her songs.

Fortunately, the app also offers the option to cache data in a database (rather than sending every request to Emby), so this issue isn't too significant.

Still, I look forward to the day this feature is available ;)
