It’s not clear from the images what the problem is. In the first image I see you are browsing and there are two files and one folder and it isn’t clear what is in that folder. Then in the second image there are two tracks? It is unlikely it is the search failing. Just look through the library and see if they are even in there.

edit: it would be very unusual if a file was being shown as a folder. Show a screen capture of the folder from your OS of choice

[FreyrPL]

As i mentioned before-the icon is wrong. There are 3 files. No folders. This file with folder icon is not shown in search results but it can be played. This is just example. Problem applies to many files.

Screenshot fron android phone:

EDIT: PC screenshots(last one RMB clicked on "folder" file:

[OzGav]

I know Marcel has said before the browse function has limitations. The real question is why the file isn’t in the library. The log should reveal why but typically the reason is tagging problems

[FreyrPL]

It worked perfectly fine until last 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately i don' know which update broke browsing and i i don't have 'working' backup. I'll add logs aflter i solving 401 error while downloading.

[OzGav]

You should not be worried about browsing. That is like a fallback option. The question is why the third track hasn’t been loaded into the library.

Edit: so it looks like only two tracks have been loaded into the library under Aronchupa. How has that missing track been tagged?

edit: also look for Trombone in the track view, what do you see there?

[FreyrPL]

Im not worried :) Browsing works, but i need to remember exactly where is everything, because track search doesn't.

I'll check tagging ( done long ago with Picard) when i get access to PC

Track searching "Trombone":

After deleting 'e' from search above:

Edit: I have only one instance of each file, but search finds multiple.

[OzGav]

So it looks like all of the tracks have been loaded into the library but there is some sort of linking problem as even though both Trombone tracks are there only one is linked to Aronchupa. Why you are seeing multiple when the full word is typed is also unusual. I assume you only see those two tracks until you type that last e?

[FreyrPL]

It's more complicated ;) If i type slow, then there are just 2 results (ok) If i type fast, then there are multiple...and if i scroll down, there is every track from library:

, but if i go back and forth (search already typed in), there are just two results. Weird...

[OzGav]

Yeah sounds like a frontend bug although I don’t see it. Does it happen only on your phone?

[FreyrPL]

Same on chrome (win11 pc). One more observation on pc. When i type slowly: "Trom" - 2 results "Tromb" - 2 results "Trombo" - no results "Trombon" - 2 results "Trombone" - 2 results Same everytime. With "o" at the end -no results

Fast/slow typing is related with animated progress bar. If it finishes searching before next character is typed - no multiplication in results.

[OzGav]

Ok we will try and reproduce this or will come back and ask for more info.

[OzGav]

OK I see the issue when typing quickly. Would it be fair to say the title of this should be changed to "Search results are duplicated when typed fast"?

edit: Also we are looking at a separate frontend bug as well. Can you try typing a single A in the GLOBAL search field and see what happens

[FreyrPL]

No problem. And with update b140 missing results are gone. To be fair, i did run picard again on all the music i have and it did a lot of changes to tags, but files missed in results were not touched. They appear correctly in Track Search. Multiplication still there.

@ edit Nothing happens after A. Typing second character gives results. (Update b140)

[OzGav]

OK so I will change the title as the issue of duplicated results when typing fast I can reproduce.

Interesting that nothing happens for you when you type an A. I experience a loop refresh problem then. But if I type a B then I do get results so not sure why you don't see any with A.... Confirming we are talking about in this search box

[FreyrPL]

Same search. Global. I wasn't patient enough. At first, nothing happens. Then i get results. Then everything disappears. Like on screenshot.

[OzGav]

Interesting. We are digressing from your original problem but is the screen constantly refreshing or is it just sitting there blank? And it looks like you can’t type anything else now? Maybe check the logs to see if there is an error

Edit: Can you try typing a B and see if anything different happens...

[FreyrPL]

As i mentioned before, on update b140 i can't reproduce missing results, so the true, original problem seems gone.

Screen is blank. No, i can't type anything.

In the meantime mass updated to b141 and the problem with global search is gone. Multiplication is also gone, but there is still all the library below results

[OzGav]

Because of the frontend bug with typing in the search field, type in Aron then remove the n and then add it again (or type slowly). See if you only get results for that now?

[FreyrPL]

Upd b141

After removing n, and retyping it, i only get results for that, what i was searching for.

[OzGav]

OK would you agree that there are no problems with the search function rather it is a frontend bug with the speed that the text is typed?

[FreyrPL]

There were problems, but i agree that now those are gone.

[marcelveldt]

this one can be closed ? all good now ?

[FreyrPL]

On ver. 0b142 seems ok, so can be closed.

[OzGav]

Unfortunately I am still seeing this

But I would bring your attention to the thumbnail. For some reason it isn't showing the correct 2 letters. When the duplication occurs it is showing letters from another band on the same (various artists) album.

[OzGav]

In beta 144 this seems ok!
