Search functionality - aotearoasteve - 2024-05-16
I have just encountered some interesting behaviour in regrads to search functionality.
I have the 2013 movie "her" in my movie library which contains a total of 5123 items.
I can find it in the alphabetical list, I can search it on my linked jellyseer instance and hit the "play on jellyfin" link and it will open the movie page in jellyfin.
What I can't seem to do is search it out. The probblem seems to be that string "her" appears in too many other titles (wHERe, HERe, etc). I have tried searching "her" "Her" "her 2013" "her (2013)" and so on, get a couple of pages of results but I can't get it to appear in the 2 pages of results.
I tested some more and get the same problem with the movie "It".
The movies are correctly identified etc.
I'm guessing the search functionality could be improved a bit to favour exact complete matches over partiual string matches? Any other thoughts here?
Thanks very much in advance!
Version: 10.8.13 running in docker on a debian VM on proxmox

10.9.1 is the current version and should have better search. Backup your Jellyfin /config directory before upgrading since you cannot downgrade afterwards. With the backup you can downgrade after restoring the backup.
