Why does search return not return all marches match elf artist, album, tracks?

As title says, why is the search limited to only return 3 items for each item type? E.g even on my ipad, if I search for a song, it only lists 3 songs on the search page.
In other cases I only get one march e.g I have six different remixes of the song “Caribbean blue”. . If I search for “Caribbean” I only get one search result.
All songs a have correct Id3 tags and they all have the word “Caribbean” in the track name….so what gives!
Running latest version of plex server and plex amp.

You should be able to drill further into each type of there’s more than 3 search results. In that case, there section header is clickable and shows a arrow (>) indicating there’s more results.

Are those 6 remixes listed as separate tracks of separate albums? I have a few „redundant tracks“ that were released on different albums and the search is listing all of them.

e.g. „Bittersweet Symphony“ by The Verve and the cover by London Grammar or Nirvana‘s „About a Girl“ which was released on a regular album, their MTV unplugged live album and a best-of compilation

Thanks, first of all, there shouldn’t be a need to click on the arrow to see more results. E.g On a giant iPad screen, getting only 3 results is just dumb to be honest.
Secondly, yes those 6 tracks are all in the same album.
The search however gives me one result. If I browse to the album, I see all tracks.
This issue is old and always plagued me.


Why is this marked as solved? It’s not.

It isn’t marked as solved so I have no idea what you are talking about

If that album is called Caribbean Blue but it is not showing the album results initially then it sounds like something is off with the metadata in the first place.

The remaining space is used for tracks, albums and artists. You lack those search results, so it appears empty.

The album is called MISCELLANEOUS as shown in the screenshot

OK. Well the answer to your original question is what @Connor_CZ said above. I understand you may not like that behavior but it is how it was designed

Okay thanks but perhaps an enhancement should be done to improve this behavior because it’s not really user friendly the way it is right now.
