Server Version#: Version 1.25.5.5492 Player Version#: Version 4.74.1 :tada:Improved Search :tada: - easily see your top search results or dig into a specific type of media no matter where you are in the app. I’m not sure I’d consider the new search results an improvement… I think I preferred …

Another +1 on how much I hate the search results being stuck in the drop-down instead of loading a page of useful matches. I spend years expecting that when I hit enter it will show me a page of results, not load whatever rando thing the search results was showing. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. If you’re goi…

The old search worked off of a vagueness of detail. I really love it that way because when you only remember one word of the title you could still find it on the results page. The new search works off of the fact that I definitively know what I am searching for. With this new search I have had to …

Oh my goodness yes, I didn’t realize the last version I upgraded changed the search, but I was just trying to search for something and it’s nearly useless for a large music library. For example, I have 131 items in my library for Radiohead. If I do a search, I have no way to get to a full list of …

Seems that the focus of plex anymore is just on the future of their search and not actually trying to solve the problem they created with many loyal customers. Just so they can be all kewl and have that new discovery that is in beta work along side the poor excuse of improved searching of our own l…

[image] smegadeth: With this new search I have had to go to imdb.com multiple times to even remotely start finding some of the content that is in my own library Can you provide some examples? Thanks @eyrieowl for your Beethoven example.

You’re welcome. I can provide another example for what smegadeth is talking about. I have 64 tracks in my music library (not even counting friends’ libraries) with the word tomorrow in the name. Let’s suppose I’m looking for, I dunno, picking one of them, Sting’s “Tomorrow We’ll See” off of “Bran…

I just want to add on to this because I’m passionate about search, in general, including in my own company. The most important filter in doing a search is not anything that is in the search engine. The most important filter is the human. We will always be better at pattern matching than the searc…

Please bring back the old style results page, you can not manage plex from drop down results in windows, the drop down view is nice to have but we absolutely need the results page when enter is pressed. Only having the drop down is terrible.

Exactly what eyrieowl said, but on my entire library (Music, TV Shows, Movies). Can’t ever remember specific title, but even one word on the search is no good as clearly explained.

Actually remember an exact example. Looking for “Brightburn (2019)” but I could not remember anything, but burn. No movies came up except with “burn” as the prefix. Imdb.com search and it was title number 17.

There is another thread on the same subject. A search results page is being actively worked on. No ETA for when it will be released.
