Describe the issue

Roon Search preview doesn't like hyphenated names/titles, outputs incorrect error in response.

I'm on Roon desktop, 2.0 build 1459 earlyaccess, windows, 64-bit.

Whenever I open Roon's search box and type the name of a hyphenated album, e.g. "my anti-aircraft friend", instant search will apparently crash and I'm shown an error box saying "Can't connect to Roon Search". But if I simply type or just backspace to delete characters up to the hyphen "my anti-" Roon Search does in fact connect and shows the album as a 1st result.

Same applies when searching for the track "Anti-Hero", or the artist "Jay-Z", they'll all result in the same error message, but typing "Anti-" or "Jay-" will show intended results below the search box.

Describe your network setup

I don't think my network setup is of any relevance for this, please let me know otherwise.

Yeah, also with other special characters. Reported here already and there is a ticket:

B1458, ARC B297 Search does not recognize special symbols [Ticket In]

We are very happy that the error related to the search has been corrected recently. Thank you to the developers who worked hard for this. However, additional errors have been identified and we ask for correction. [image] If the artist or song name contains a special symbol, it cannot be searched by entering it into the search word. [image] If you remove the special symbol, it will be searched. In the above case, {.} is entered. Below is the case where the {-} mark is included. [image] …

Hi @OllieGN,
Thanks for letting us know about this bug. As @Suedkiez noted we have an open ticket to solve this issue. I can’t promise an exact timeline but rest assured it is being worked on.

Thanks, Daniel. I had no idea this was a known issue, but I’m glad it’s already being worked on.

Cheers,
Ollie.
