Catastrophic Emby search bug on the new stable version.

[Dan_86 7]

It seems multi word search on the latest Unified Emby Android release causes the entire server to hang which will interrupt other users.  I cannot repeat this behaviour using the Android for TV app, web browser or the exact same unified Android APK on my phone. it only seems to be affecting the last unified Emby app installed on Google TV's

Very strange. I've attached a log,  according to claude:

What's actually happening:
Every time you search, the mobile Emby app fires several parallel queries behind the scenes to populate different result sections (movies, shows, episodes, people, etc.). One of those is:

 

IncludeItemTypes=Person&Recursive=true&SearchTerm=<your query>

That's a recursive search across your entire library for matching cast/crew — not a lookup of "people whose name matches," but a scan checking every item's Person associations against the search term. On a 1PB library, this single query takes 29–31 seconds to complete, every time (How I Met Your Mother: 29380ms, 30995ms, 30001ms; Breaking Bad: 29993ms, then 10351ms on a retry).
