Search Each Library Individually

Also would be nice to search for artist, filename or  title only

Agreed. I also miss the functionality to filter / search by text field. Currently the filters only consist of selects/dropdowns/checkboxes and it would be nice to be able to search by text in the library itself as well.

I believe there's also some other FR's that have this exact question and by providing (at least one, for the title) textfield per library that would resolve those FR's as well.

We have plans to improve this. We just have a LOT to do and cannot get it all done at the same time.

Thanks.

Is there a way to not show episodes from TV Shows in search?

Short answer NOPE

GEE after getting fed up once again with Emby's BS over permissions I gave Jellyfin another look. Sure enough as usual Jellyfin don't and doesn't have any issues with the default permissions. Jelly fin has a per library search. Jellyfin logs cover everything, no having a issue and having to switch to trace or debug and wait and see if the issue happens again so you can post the logs. The only issues I see with Jellyfion are no folder view under movies, episode view for TV on the server app but no in the app for the TV, linking to themes and theme components instead of end-user editable code. There may be some features Emby has that would be nice to have in Jellyfin but overall Jellyfin seems to fit my needs just fine.

Following up on this topic, the ability to search within a specific library remains an essential and unresolved need. In practice, the current all-library search continues to slow down workflows, surface irrelevant results, and make it unnecessarily difficult to locate known items in large, organized collections. For users managing multiple libraries by type or quality, this is not a minor convenience but a fundamental usability gap. Adding library-specific search would materially improve precision, speed, and overall efficiency, and still feels like a missing core feature. I hope I have not missed any recent developments on this.  Cheers.

Unfortunately you have not missed any developments on this, muchless any movement in years or if at all. We still also have the issue of searching in settings and only getting media results. It's a sad state as far as I'm concerned, hence why it's one of many reasons that I have moved to Jellyfin.
