Me and my wife maintain two different “Music” libraries on our plex server, seperated by folders.

Plexamp allows choosing which library it should be looking at during use. This appears to be working properly when going to the “Home” screen or using library radio, but searching does NOT respect the library boundary, and returns results from both libraries, which I believe is new behavior and not how this historically worked. Hopefully it isn’t intended, and if so can that be turned off?

Returning results outside of your library was sort of considered a feature, not a bug 😅 but I can see how it might detract from some setups. We’ll look into making it a preference.
