Server Version#: 1.19.5.2889  
Player Version#:

The last few upgrades have now completely stopped the search function working. I have added new libraries, I have done the database corruption fix as well as enabled global searching in the libraries, etc and all just leaves the same result: I can search and get results from the PVR, but no results from my libraries.

I really don’t want to have to redo my entire server (wether that will even work) so any help would be really useful
