[SOLVED] Issue with "I'll" in Advanced Search

[ils1974]

On my NAS I've several albums containing the track "I'll Remember April".

To look them up, I start in the Album View and select Advanced Search.

In the "Title" field, I enter "I'll Remember April" (without the quotes) -> Result: nothing found.

When I enter "Remember April" (without the quotes) in the "Title" field, I get all my albums.

Is this is a bug due to the ' in "I'll"?

Prolly a bug. I'll investigate.

Hi @Tim Curtis . I checked with the 9.3.2 version, and the issue is still there.
A search via "I'll remember april" gives no result, a search with "ll remember april" gives me the expected result. So, it goes wrong with the ' it looks.

I have the fix marked as complete on my TODO list for r932

Code:

- [x] Embedded single quote in flatlist_filter_str not working
     Fix is to enclose in escaped double quotes

And a quick test on one of my r932 systems and it seems to be working.

Hi @Tim Curtis. Please find here  a movie on how I can reproduce the issue on 9.3.2

[Tim Curtis]

Looks like a regression or incomplete fix :-0

I'll investigate.

Could it be that sometimes it is ' (apostrophe) and other times `(single quote)?

[ils1974]

This is the text copied from moOde when I find the album: I'll Remember April

I pasted this in a file, and the ' is char 0x27, which is what's supposed to be.

Not to worry. I have repo'ed your issue here. Single quote=apostrophe in ASCII [1[ and jigging up a fake album with track titles like

I'll Be There
You'll Be Here

I get the same "Nothing found" response to an advanced search on the title.

[1] I believe the FLAC metatadata are encoded in UTF-8 but this is backward compatible with ASCII.

Uh, oh.

I fiddled around with some other things on various screens, came back, and tried the advanced search on a track title containing a single quote aka apostrophe again. This time I get back the appropriate album!?!

I guess some cache got cleared/relloaded during those "other things".
