Is this the full text search in 7.9? Maybe it is. Didn't realise that was going to be for normal searches. I thought that was something to do with a new search option or advanced search and the introduction of songs or albums results mode. Is there any way to turn it off? Perhaps not so

That said: it's just as weird to search for a category, usually with a full-text search you would expect a result-agnostic search returning all kind of results and then maybe a way to filter what you get. No need for 27 different search boxes in a UI, one would be just fine... --- learn more

Hm, interesting thing about Love. Does that mean the band Love is never going to be found or did I misunderstand something? Ok, title was wrong/too simple. I meant to say album- or track-title (for albums or tracks, respectively) or the artist name (for artists). The value you'd find in the

Most likely it is. Your description sounds exactly like a FTS issue. Yes, I'm sure that's it now I have had a play. Perhaps not so bad if the search results with the search string in the title were to appear at the top of the results That _should_ be the case already. Are you running the
