So if I'm browsing albums in Genre=Classical, Year=2017, and search "Britten", the "From Here" query would "simply" build the UPnP Search to be "search all albums from 2017 whose genre is classical that contain Britten.
Would a UI be needed? Doesn't Bubble already know the necessary information, kept in the browse history?

Yes it has the necessary info. Will look into it, although no promise. I was just elaborating on more advanced search requests, which apparently is off-topic.

As you are always getting search results from the root folder, this means that your control point is always specifying the root container as the base container for the search. This has been discussed earlier in this thread (see posts 14, 15 and 16).

Thanks for this. It looks correct according to the current sorting rules, assuming that "The" is an ignored prefix for albums.

songs from Beatles Triple Trackers
song from CD11...
song from Classic Cuts...
song from Complete Elvis...
song from Definitive...
...etc.

Yes, that's correct.

Hi,

The next version of the Hi-Fi Cast app will allow you to search from any container. There will be a new Search item in the context (3-dot) menu for all containers. The search in the toolbar will continue to search the entire library.

Cheers,
Brett

In the next MinimServer update, the sort order for this list will change to the sort order for the "n items" list (track name first, then artist name, then date). The user can customize this sort order by setting the items.sortTags option in the tagOptions property.
