When one searches, in Albums, for, say [Grieg Piano Concerto] (where the brackets are not part of the search), then "albums" called, for example, [Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites, Piano Concerto] or even [Grieg: Piano Concerto], are not displayed.
This seems to be because the search query is treated as a single string which has to match the album name, rather than being broken down into separate words all of which have to match the album name. This (to me) is rather unintuitive and against the expectations ingrained by google and other search engines.
Also, particularly in the case of classical music where the naming of the "albums" is arbitrary, even when one keeps to the convention [Name of composer: Comma separated list of pieces], since the ordering of the pieces is hard to remember, this makes the search feature much less useful.
(Arguably, one could partially circumvent the problem by, say, abusing the "Artist" tag for the name of the composer, and using the "Artist" selection, but that's not exactly ideal and probably would still not solve all possible issues.) |

PS Thank you for an otherwise nice and functional music player! |
