Describe the issue

Search is not working for any queries.

Entering in anything it says, "Thinking" and then "No results". Same result after hitting Enter to get the full page search instead of the modal search box.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Have a library of books
  2. Search for a title/author/genre/anything
  3. Observe "No Results"

Audiobookshelf version

v2.0.20

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

I had the same issue. Advplyr found the solution. It was a series with garbage. You can find the solution here:

Thanks @stefanop1! I'll look around and see if I missed any on my cleanup

@stefanop1's reply was correct. I had some bad authors.

@advplyr I saw that you were asking how to get that bad author in the #688 bug, so I found the books that got it

(The second seems to be removed from Audible, so I grabbed a screenshot of the book from my library)

These two were filled by running Match Book
