Media searches not honoring articles in title (eg; the)

Ubuntu Linux 18.04.6
Intel(R) Core™ i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 12 cores
64gb ram

running the very latest plex beta, everything but the database dir is in the standard default locations.

not sure where to look for this setting-

“I’ll also ask if the library section(s) are linked (where they pull data from each other – advanced settings) ?”

edit- the searches are instantious… if they dont include common words. (running the database on a ramdisk definitly helps)
