B2 bug: Duplicates incorrectly show in search results

Post by peter_h »

I'm getting some duplicate songs showing as the result of a search. However, under the location node, the same songs don't appear as duplicates.

Looking at a number of albums where every song shows twice, I've checked properties and each pair of songs point to the same file, so it's definitely a duplicate listing, not a duplicate file.

When I analyze the results of a search for [genre contains "jazz"], I find all the "phantom" duplicate listings have 2 genres listed, e.g. "Ambient;Jazz", whereas songs with only 1 genre entry are not duplicated.

I've just tested that theory by adding a 3rd genre to a song, re-searched, and sure enough, it now appears in triplicate in the results.

Currently evaluating a migration from MM4 (4.1.31.1919 on Win7 SP1/16Gig RAM/intel) to MM2024 (latest Debug version on Win11 24H2/16GB RAM/intel)

**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.

Yes, I see. It is just the case of Basic search only, the Advanced search for Genre works fine. Thank you. Will be fixed.
