Describe the feature/enhancement

Related

Case Now:

Searching for "{book title} {author}" does not match the book.
Searching for "{book title}" or "{author}" individually results in a match.

Expected:

Match a book when search terms relating to multiple metadata fields are used.

additional context

  • this would be lower on the hierarchy of search results and combining it with fuzzy search would make searching an excellent feature.

  • I am thinking this could be implemented by combing all metadata into one single field and doing a search over that instead of each field individually.

Is there some way to easily make the search fuzzier?

This is basically the same thing as fuzzy search. @mikiher has been doing work on this for matching https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/pull/2186

I did link #1401 in my issue because it would be needed to implement this. What that issue did not cover was inclusion of other metadata fields for searching, it mentioned only searching in book title, hence this issue to support searching in title as well as authors/genres/etc. altogether.

I feel #2186 covers both, this and fuzzy matching.
