I think I found out what causes this behaviour - but I think it's a bug
or not a feature:

I have "My Music" set to "Use single configurable list of artists "Only
show tracks or albums matching the selected genre of an artist".
This works fine that it avoids to see all the albums the artist is only
composer in my list (e.g. when i search for Bob Dylan, I don't wanna see
the albums of german singer "Mary Roos" just cause she covered some
Dylan-songs...)

But it only includes:
- albums, where the artist is "album artist"
and
- albums, where the artist is a "(track) artist", when the album has set
NO "album artist" or "album artist" is set to "various artists" (and
compilation = "1")

It does NOT include
- albums, where the artist is a "track artist" and someone else is
"album artist".

This is not consequent, isn't?`

I would expect to see:
Either only albums where the artist is "album artist"
or (preferably)
all albums where the artis is "album artist" OR "track artist".

But the most confusing thing  - I think - is, that when You start a
search right from LMS home page (using the "reading glass symbol") -
artist is not found at all, if he only is track artist on another
artists album ... (But it IS found when he/she is track artist on at
least one compilation album (or has an album on its own).

So I think, this should be thought over (while I admit, it hast nothing
to do with FTS)

Second question:
If I chose the option "Use single, configurable list..." - how can I
"configure" it?

Thanks :-)
