Can anything be done to improve search? - kandykarter - 2024-10-03

Like, I search for the movie Opera, and it's the 5th result behind several movies that do not have that word in the title. Are there any config files I can edit, or anything I can do to go back to how search was in 10.8?

That's most likely because those other media have tags that match your search. Jellyfin now searches for tags and genre too of all media. There's currently no way to turn this feature off.

Tags have been removed from the search results for version 10.10.0, so this should improve when its released.

There is the Jellysearch project that moves the search functionality to a different database. It takes a little setup but improves search immensely.

Yeah, but why does it rank tagged results higher than title results? It's a *weird* behaviour.

That's *great* news, I hadn't heard that. Thanks!
