Cross-Platform Search

Description

Searches across all connected server platforms simultaneously and aggregates results, eliminating the need to search each platform individually.

How to Use

1. Ensure multiple server platforms are connected (e.g., Navidrome + Emby)
2. Enter a keyword in the search bar
3. The system automatically sends search requests to all platforms
4. Search results are merged and displayed, with each result labeled with its source platform
5. Results can be played directly, regardless of which platform they come from

Notes

• All platforms must remain connected
• If a platform search times out, results from other platforms are still displayed normally
• The same song may appear in results from multiple platforms (no deduplication)

Use Cases

• Performing a global search when unsure which platform has a song
• Comparing search results across different platforms
• Maximizing search coverage

Search Tips

Use Exact Search

• Using the complete song name or artist name yields more accurate results
• Avoid overly generic terms

Use Partial Keywords

• If you can't remember the full name, partial keywords can still work
• Example: searching "imagine" can find both "Imagine" and "Imagine Dragons"

Search Scope Recommendations

• Search for songs: enter the song name
• Search for artists: enter the artist name
• Search for albums: enter the album name
• Search for audiobooks: enter the book title or author name
