I know this has been asked before Plex wont search DB

Ive seen this before and followed instructions by cleaning and analyzing the database. It still won’t search my database. I have downloaded my logs to see what to do next. It is 81mb and to big to upload though

Could you elaborate a bit on the problem? I’m not sure what you mean by “won’t search my database”.

when I do a search for something in my library it never finds anything. It will only find plex stuff and actors. Before I add something to m media library I do a search to make sure I don’t already have it. With search not finding anything I am finding that I already have it when I add the file to my library. Now I go to the drive itself and do a search.

In Plex Web / Plex Desktop, click in the search bar, then click the symbol on the right. Make sure you have your server(s) selected as sources.


Check the Visibility settings for your libraries.

I think that was it. somehow it switched off of my server. so much of a relief. I was getting ready to dump my server and start from scratch
