Oh damn. I’ll try again!

Here you go:

My question is about searching my music on my Melco N1 running MinimServer via the dCS Mosaic app. If I search ‘Sigur Ros’ for example nothing is found. If I search ‘Sigur Rós’ with the accent on the ‘o’ however it finds the five albums I have stored there. 

Similarly if I search Crosby Stills Nash and Young it doesn’t find anything. If I search Crosby it finds all the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young albums I have stored. 

It seems crackers to me that the software doesn’t ignore accents, punctuation and the difference between & and ‘and’! 

I contacted dCS and they said it’s MinimServer’s ‘fault’ not Mosaic. I don’t have this problem when searching Qobuz or Spotify. Why is this such a big problem with MinimServer? I didn’t have this issue previously when I used Twonky. 

Hopefully someone can help me out here as it’s frustrating. I have over 7,000 albums stored and the idea that someone suggested of scrolling through the artist list is not a practical suggestion.
