JRemote's search results are a little easier to use, but still require some attention. There are a couple of different places to search, and the most obvious and accessible icon just looks in the current view, so at least in my case it's not the search I want to use. And to search a classical music collection your library should be thoroughly and accurately tagged. Well, any collection should be correctly tagged, but if you've ripped a lot of classical CDs and accepted the tags from somewhere on the net you'll have to spend some time cleaning things up before you can use JRemote's search with any degree of satisfaction. Eventually I decided a better solution was to create different views that let me find things quickly instead of using search from anywhere other than MC on a computer. I still find search within MC itself to be very good (although I wish the suggestion list would disappear when you hit enter, but I understand that's supposed to be a feature, not a bug).
I'm well aware of the need for tagging the collection properly. My complaint isn't with the quality or content of the search results in Gizmo, but the fact that when I select one of the results that it found, Gizmo play something seemingly completely unrelated.
I guess a screenshot explains it best. In the attached screenshot, if I press any of the 6 selections displayed, regardless of which one, it always plays a track that corresponds to the selection at the top of the screen "Capriccio BWV 992: Aria Di Postiglione: Adagio Poco".
The first 3 selections are from the same album by Wanda Landowska .
The next 3 tracks shown are from a completely different album of the Goldberg Variations by Pierre Hantaļ. When I press one of those, I would expect to hear something from that album - but instead, I hear something completely unrelated - the selection at the top of the screen, "Capriccio BWV 992: Aria Di Postiglione: Adagio Poco" .
If I scroll down the results, so that "Bach (JS) : Goldberg Variations - Pierre Hantaļ - 1992" is shown at the top, as in the second screenshot, then pressing that selection - and any of 5 others on that screen - plays the aria from that album.
Basically, the search function finds lots of things, but I can only effectively select one per page, and all the other results appear to be ignored, and presses always select the one at the top.
Not sure why that is happening, or if it's specific to my device (Galaxy Note 8 smartphone, as noted earlier), but as it stands, the search function in Gizmo is completely useless for me.
When I select by album, without using search, selection of tracks works as expected - the specific track I select actually gets played. Same if I select by artist, genre, composer, and so on.
