Apologies if this has been discussed before, but a cursory search
through the forums didn't reveal anything.

I'm running SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11039 - Windows XP - EN -
cp1252.
I have my music collection all ripped to FLAC, and using MusicIP to
look after the library.

Here's the problem.
I use the CustomBrowse plugin, and specifically the "Composers" browse
option that is provided.  I noticed that the list of composers was
incomplete.  I initially though this was a CustomBrowse issue but I
don't believe it is.  I have a number of classical music albums from
specific composers, and a number of compilation albums.  It seems as if
all the composers that are not from compilation albums are listed, and
one or two that are only from compilations are also listed.  I've
checked my tags, and they are all completely consistent.
All the classical music as Artist populated and Composer populated with
the same data (just to make sure).

To confirm my belief that this isn't a custom browse issue, I used the
Search facility in Slim UI.  I search for Vivaldi for example, and
three albums are listed, but not the compilation album that Vivaldi
appears on.  However, if I use Advanced Search and search by Artist,
every track by Vivaldi from all the albums, including compilations is
listed.

Note that Search returns Artists, Albums and Song Titles that match
while Advanced Search returns individual tracks.

There's something wrong with the way Search is working - has anybody
else seen this?  Is this another "Various Artist/Compilation Album"
problem?

Any help/thoughts appreciated.

Chris.
