Spotlight does not show the albums unless they are found by the external search. It does NOT search your library for matches that are not found in that search. So, if an album is not found by the external search but does appear in your library, then it is not listed.
The logic seems to be to do the external search and then check the found albums to see if they are in the library. But it does not look in the library for albums it does not find in the external search.
That means my old Patchouli example never shows any albums, even though are many in my library.
And, yes, it does not use the cover art from the library.
JimH:
What do you mean by "external search"?
dtc:
Splotlight gets its Album list by searching some place(s) on the Internet. That is what I am calling the "external" search. It comes back with a list of albums and displays them. It then checks those album names against the library and marks the albums that are in the library. However, albums that are not returned by the Internet search but are in the library are not displayed.
Here are screenshoots of the Patchouli albums in my library. But Spotlight shows no Albums.
What I am asking for is to have Spotlight include albums that are in the library but are not found by the Internet search.

Thanks for adding this feature!
It works great for movies and any TV series where the [Series] field matches TMDB.
I append the year the series started in parentheses to differentiate series with the same series name, but different starting years.
For example, I rename The Witcher as The Witcher (2019), because TMDB also has a series named The Witcher that started in 2002.
Spotlight seems to looking up it's info based on the [Series] field and not using the [TheMovieDB Series ID].
This results in Spotlight producing no results for this series. See attachment.
Am I correct in my analysis? Can this be fixed?

Yes, you are correct. This seems like a rare case. Do you append the year for all of your tv series?
