Topic: Search DB not finding songs - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Can anybody please help me!!!!! the search database is not finding my music. if I search for a song I start to type it in. It should bring that song to the top of my list. It Is not. all of my search frames are correct according to the directions for virtual DJ. The song is found in the list but it's like way at the bottom or in the middle no matter if I sort up or down.

If I type in an artist if finds It faster then if I type in the title but if I have no idea who the artist is I'm at a loss because it has no clue what to look for
 
Have you checked your settings in the search criteria on your browser?
 
yes
 
Does anyone know if this changed from 8.1
 
Cannot search for just a song title it looks for letters that are in all of the tag so if you are looking for the song
No by Meghan Trainor
it looks for the NO in traiNOr
 
Please help is there someone that can tell me what the criteria is Or the search parameters it is and why it can't look for the song title first and then any corresponding letters
 
You definitely have title selected as below?
 
yes
 
Let me see if I can do a screenshot and I'll send
 
 
What about here
 
 
 
 
What is the search field supposed to be at
 
Looks like you're on a Mac?

It's all working in windows.
 
Okay where do I go from here
 
Wait for someone who has a mac to compare settings.

It's not as though you've lost all your music, and you obviously know the songs you need to play so you can still get to them in finder then drag them on if need be.

There's also your history files which show all your previous gigs.
 
no it is all there i just want to search easier
