Global search function at search bar broken?

My Library

|-- Drama (TV Libray)
   |-- Happy Friday (Show)
   |-- Blue Monday (Show)
|-- TV (TV Libray)
   |-- Skulls & Roses

Server:

  • PMS 1.19.1.2621

Player:

  • Plex Web 4.22.3 via localhost
  • Plex Web 4.30.2 via app.plex.tv
  • Plex Windows 1.6.5.1097-3bb9dc68

Case 1 (Broken now)

When I search Skulls & Roses on top search bar at Home:

  • No result.
  • Click “Search all sources” -> No result

Previously + Expected Result: Has search result

Case 2 (It’s okay)

If I navigate to TV first, then search Skulls & Roses on top search bar.

  • Has result.

Case 3 (Broken now)

If I navigate to Drama first, then search Skulls & Roses on top search bar.

  • No result.
  • Click “Search all sources” -> No result

Previously + Expected Result: Has search result

Summary:

Previously + Expected Result:
I can search item from any page.

Now:
I can ONLY search the item from its library page.

It is no sense that I have to know the location before search it. How can I search when I have 10+ Libiraries?

Edit the tv library, go to the ‘Advanced’ tab.
Enable ‘include in dashboard’.

I have the same problem.
Some libraries are missing from the search.
