@ehudpaz Could you enable [Debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1), perform your search, then download your [PMS logs?](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) Also, download your Database (the button next to Download Logs) and share that with me. You can DM me with your logs and DB.

Hi

I’ll do my best to send you the data you ask once I’ll be able to do so.

Thanks a lot!

Like I mentioned in the DM I’ve filed an issue for this. I’ve also advised you to follow our naming convections and provided links to those support articles. Thanks for reporting.
