I have 5012 videos in one directory. Running on a ReadyNAS 6Plus Plex version v0.9.16.6.1993-5089475. When I Search on XYZ I get 3 movies and Show All Results only returns 15 movie entries no matter what text I type in the Search box. No matter what platform I use the Search feature; Windows 10, Roku 3 and 4 or Samsung 4K TV I receive the same results. When I search XYZ in Windows Explorer 400 movies will show up. I have run the Database repair procedure and it did not fix it. Something is broken how do I fix it? Thank you.
I can not be the only one that is having this problem
You will never see more than three of any type (movies, albums, artists, etc.) in the dropdown list. That’s by design.
In the ‘Show more results’ page, I’ve found that each list tops out at 30. I’m not sure why that’s different than your results. But I agree, it’s inadequate. I can understand an abbreviated list in the dropdown, but the full Search Results page should show ALL matching results.
This appears to be by design at this point, but it should be changed. A search tool that doesn’t give me complete results at some stage is kinda useless.
I agree. It does display 15 however I know I others must have brought this up I can only presume the conversations are ignored or deleted.
Does anyone know if the search works if you were to purchase the Plex 1.0 Nividia 1.0 hardware device version ? I have converted my video collection 5,400plus to all MP4 and use roku devices so I guess I just need to find a replacement for plex. Maybe just use dlna. I know plex has the capability they have just have it limited. Why not just tell everyone that in order to get search to work you have to upgrade to 1.0 instead of everyone beating their head against the wall and spending hours thinking there is something wrong with the way I have named my files or a configuration issue. I would be happy to pay for the search function add it to my plex pass cost.
