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.
