Music searching (still?) broken

Plex Media Server

Hello,
It appears that searching for music is broken - i.e. it’s not showing the results even though the songs are clearly there. Same things happen in the Browser and Plexamp, so I assume it’s a server issue. I’ve seen a topic mentioning special characters in tags preventing the songs being found, but it has been reported in October so I assumed it must have been fixed, since it’s such an important feature - have I assumed incorrectly?

Search results:
1

Song clearly there:
2

Some more weird results:
Typing in almost the full name:
3

Typing in full name:

The search results shown in the dropdown will only show the first three matching items in each category (three tracks, three artists, three albums, etc.). If you click the “Search all sources…” link at the top, it will show the first 30 matching items. Plex’s Search feature is not designed to find all matching items, a fact that I too have reported. The only way to actually find all matching items is to use the Custom Filters.
