The search bar not doing anything when Enter is pressed seems like a waste of its use, but it seems to basically do the same thing as the Keyword Filter entry but in a dropdown list.

Can the function of the Keyword Filter entry be moved to when Enter is pressed when using the Search box?

My initial thought was that the global search would search across everything. Authors, tags, series, etc., like Plex.

Then pressing enter would bring you to a search page. In that case it would function much different then keyword filter.

I always liked the global search.

Oh, I totally missed that the Keyword Filter is a custom filter that can further refine the results already selected from the filter in a dropdown list. I was treating it like a global search from the main show All page.

Yeah, if hitting Enter from Search would work, that's pretty much what I meant here.

I edited the Title and we'll just pretend I'm not a moron. :)

Added in v1.2.1

I still plan to add searching for authors, collections, series, etc.
