searching within Android app occasionally gives me wrong results or no results when there should be
Posted: 2025-06-03, 06:17 UTC
Example. I search my SD card for "go to jail" minus the quotes and it returns "Terry Pratchett/Book 21 Jingo" audiobook folder. Nowhere in this folder or even in my audiobook collection does the phrase "go to jail" appear
Another time I'll search for a movie by it's exact title and it won't show up. If I manually find it and copy and paste the title it still won't show up. I thought maybe there were unsupported unicode symbols but even renaming the file and retyping in manually to ensure every character was standard alphabet it won't show up in search
Other times I'll search and I'll get the file I'm looking for but I'll also get ~10 other files in the results that I didn't search for.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using version 3.42d from GitHub not the play store version
