Text entered in song search field returns unpredictable results

[SlightlyCompletely]

When entering characters in the song search field, it’s impossible to predict how many characters are required to return a desired or accurate search result. For example, “dam” will return “damp” in a song title but won’t return “damage”; “dama” in the search field won’t provide any results; “damag” in the search field will return song titles containing “damage”.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the song search field in the library.
2. Enter “dam”, then “dama”, and finally “damag” to see that fewer search characters doesn’t result in a more general (thus larger) pool of search results.

Expected behavior A broader search with fewer characters should return a larger number of results. Additionally, there should be predictability and consistency so that a user doesn’t need to guess how many characters in the search field will result in a successful search. For example, a search for “dam” should return both “damp” and “damage”. A search for “dama” should find “damage”.

Similar/same issue in Weezify Android mobile version 1.17.1

Two track search examples:

05 King 2 - if you search by "King" it does not show up in results. If you search only by "Ki" or "Kin" it will appear in results.

Hawaii 9 - if you search by "Hawaii" or even just "Haw" it does not show up in results. If you only use the first two characters "ha" it does.
