Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is “Guerre Stellari”. I’d like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original name is present in the metadata, it just isn’t used as a search parameter. Is there a way?


EDIT: I understood the problem: i’m stupid

Star wars episode IV had both the translated and the original title, and was correctly find when searching “star wars”, but episode V and VI didn’t have the string “star wars” in the original title! and this is why jellyfin didn’t find them. I edited the metadata and added it, now it works perfectly. Thanks to everyone!

      But the metadata is handy on so many levels.

      I agree with OP, there needs to be an option to search both original title, translated title and maybe even descriptions.

        I’m not saying this is the fix. This is a debugging step to see what the issue is if it’s not sourcing the local metadata.
