Search Alphabet Picker - blawford - 2025-01-28
Hello. I am new to JellyFin, loving it so far.
A few weeks ago (using the web interface), on the search page below the search bar there was an alphabet picker which I found really useful when using a mouse on a TV.
This has recently been replaced on my instance with a list suggestions, showing all of my films. Is there a way to get it back to how it was? With kids my main use for the search was to find a particular episodes of Bluey amongst the 150+ I have, now instead I need to pull up the on-screen keyboard, focus it to the search bar and start typing.
Thanks.

What client are you using? Is this Roku or Android TV?

Just the standard web interface, running on a Windows PC.

I think you might be mixing things up a bit. The search page hasn’t changed—it’s always shown the Suggestions. I’ve never seen the quick select filter on that page either.

Found it, I knew I wasn't going mad. After installing previous releases thinking it was a version change issue I remembered I had set my user 'Display mode' to 'TV', this gives you the picker below the search bar. Not sure how it got reset though.

Glad to know you weren't going mad either! That's the first time I'm seeing that, I've never used the TV mode display, I just keep it on the default option. Thanks for posting that screenshot.
