Server Version#: 1.40.4.8840-72008840 Player Version#: Plexamp v.4.11.5 Searching for a track with “artistname tracktitle” doesn’t return the track in search results. Tried with multiple examples all properly tagged. The tracks are returned in search results properly using Plex desktop app. ---

Make sure you optimize the database. There’s also a fix forthcoming on the server to improve searching. ---

Optimizing in Plex didn’t change the results in Plexamp. (Didn’t restart server, however.) I’ll see if the update fixes it when it comes along. ---
