PlexAmp Search Feature Issues

been having issues with the plexamp app search feature forever. It would never pull any search term then I found a ‘search all libraries’ setting vs I guess it was only searching the main music one I selected for the app (which is the only place my music files are) & I started getting some results. But the majority its nothing.

Here is an example. Drugs by Uffie is clearly in my library and I can find and play it, but to quick search it (& plenty of other entries) pulls incomplete results (or nothing). Pretty sure the majority of my files have the correct file name and track name as well.

I just try a single word from a title like “Bye” instead of Bye Bye Bye by Nsync and zero results.

Have you tried optimizing your database and/or running ChuckPa’s (Plex employee) PlexDBReapir tool? That should rebuild your search indexes and might fix some of the issues you’re seeing.

I’ll try the repair tool next chance I get. It’s already set to optimize database every week though.

4

just optimize the database inside the web app, not some third party tool. that will rebuild the search index as well.
