One other item....
Home screen: Artist - Starts With - R
shows all R artists
The search only works with the first letter, typing a second shows no result
Artist - Starts With - Ru
Shows nothing.
This works fine if using: Favorites - Starts With - Ru

I just tried this, and haven't seen this behavior. I can type out the full name of any artist in my library while the filter type is set to Starts with and that artist is always visible.
What artists do you have in your library that start with Ru? Do they have an article in front of them (e.g. "An", "The" etc)? eos does a literal "Starts with" on the entire string, it does not do any fancy string processing or tokenizing. (It does ignore case, however.) So, if the artist's name begins with an article, it will not be found. An example - let's assume you have "The Rolling Stones" as an artist:
If you're doing "Starts with" filtering:
-If you type in "Rol", you will not find The Rolling Stones, since the name begins with "The " and not "Rol"
-If you type in "The Rol", the The Rolling Stones will appear
-If you type in "The Rol " (notice the space after the final "L"), you will NOT find The Rolling Stones, since there is no space in the full artist name
If you're doing "Contains" filtering:
-If you type in "Rol", you'll find The Rolling Stones. You'll also find bands like Finntroll (FinntROLl)
-If you type in "Rol ", you will NOT find The Rolling Stones (same as above)
-If you type in "Rol The", you won't find The Rolling Stones, but you'd find a band called Control The Sun (if such a band existed in your library)
I hope this helps to clarify!
