Server Version#: 1.25.3.5409 Player Version#: 4.74.1 I don’t want this post to come off negatively as i’m sure everyone has put a lot of time and effort into the new search and from my quick testing it’s quite good and I really love the fact it keeps a recent search history and caches the result w…

[image] Atomatth: The broken context menu from a search result issue has been filed and raised. Still broken with Plex Web 4.81.1.

Yep, in fact it seems even worse, I had some results where it seemed to work. just forced a refresh of the web app and now none of mine work. I have multiple servers running different versions of PMS and it make no difference which one I select to search, the context menu does not work at all. So …

Thanks @blim5001 for reporting that. @boblinthewild Yeah, this is unfortunate. The bundled web (current public and beta version ) player has working context buttons but lacks the Where to Watch toggle. So either option may not be ideal depending on use. Thanks again for bumping!

tbh, sadly this whole new search is a bit unfortunate. I have pretty much stopped using the hosted the web app due to the new search and just check it occasionally. I have zero interest in the “Discover” and “Where to watch” stuff, so I generally just use the bundled web app on one of the older ve…

@Atomatth , still getting the same utterly unhelpful modal when there are multiple versions of the same movie in my library. Any update on any kind of ETA for either bringing back the results page or actually fixing the modal? [Screen Shot 2022-05-30 at 2.57.37 PM]

It seems they have no plans to make a usable search, lip service. The current drop-down is utterly UNACCEPTABLE. I’m dropping Plex after 7 years because it’s not about the users anymore but about how many outside companies they can please with features no one cares about. It’s about m.o.n.e.y. and n…

[image] rockney8588: It seems they have no plans to make a usable search, lip service. Did you read the previous post from @Atomatth ? It’s pretty clear they are working on it. I wish folks would stop assuming “no one” cares about certain features just because you don’t. You are not everyone. …

Whatever. Yes I read it. And have been using this and watched the development pattern for years. Also am a 46-year software engineer and have written Open Source projects that support Plex. I stand by my statement.

When is this going to be fixed? I tag all my photos in Plex manually and I would like to be able to use theses photo tags again (searching for photo tags).

The return of the results page is getting closer but still no ETA. As for the specific “Editions” issue you’ve highlighted this will require additional work from PMS along with Web. Hopefully both the results page and the Edition work can be released at the same time but chances are they might not. Sorry, I’m not able to provide an ETA. I can really only state that both areas are being actively worked on.
