I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

The search is limited to 5 results; no indicator is present that some results are not shown.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open the search
  2. Enter some keyword that should yield more than 5 books
  3. Observe that the results are limited

I think the relevant line is this:

https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/blob/b2c2b625e3cf586562397f4c02e38059f2b8ef5c/pages/search.vue#L114

What was Expected?

I expect to be able to find all matches. Each category seems to be limited to max. 5 entries.
The sub-entries should be scrollabel, or maybe have a button "show all results".

Phone Model

Samsung S9e

Phone OS

Android 14

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Installation Source

Google Play Store

Additional Notes

How it is implemented now is very confusing, because at first it seems like the server is not recognizing / missing the other results when. However the search works fine and as expected in the web version.
