Search breaks when a track artist is part of the query

Search still doesn’t seem fully fixed.

Try this: say you have a track called Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen on both a V/A compilation album (the “Wayne’s World” Soundtrack) and on the Queen “Greatest Hits I” album.

:white_check_mark: search term: bohemian returns both tracks and the two albums
:x: search term: queen bohemian returns only the track on Greatest Hits, and the Greatest Hits album itself (bad, especially since it’s probably the search term ppl will use)
:white_check_mark: search term: various bohemian returns the track on the V/A comp, and that album
:x: search term: queen various returns nothing
:white_check_mark: search term: greatest bohemian returns the track on Greatest Hits, and that album
:white_check_mark: search term: queen greatest returns the Greatest Hits album
:x: search term queen returns the artist, max 30 tracks, and only the albums where Queen is the album artist (should return all tracks).

I can’t confirm the first two failures, as that condition (duplicate track on artist and V/A album) doesn’t exist in my library, but I’m fully with you on the max 30 tracks bug.

It’s not just with duplicate tracks, this was just for comparison how songs on compilations and songs on one-artist albums are treated differently in search.

Just try any song you have that’s on a compilation album. A search containing a word from the track artist + a word from the song name will not return the song in question.

The 30-tracks maximum seems very silly - it’s not as if clients these days lack the RAM or bandwith to process a >30 row xml table.

Note: This search bug is FIXED! in PMS 1.23.3.4692 - thank you very much!
