Hi Peter, i have found a bug , this may or may not be ST3 causing it , i have had this issue for some time and am leaning towards the operating system problem.
If you open up the actual ST3 folder and use the search, there are 3 options that pop up as you type in your search , RECENT, ON IPAD, STAGE TRAXX 3, i typed in the begining of the name of a song (Audio) now you get all songs in the first two options, Recent and on ipad, but when you narrow down the search to stage traxx 3 only folder, i get no results whatsoever, this to me is a bug , i know i have those songs in the folder but i get no results.
Is it possible that its the ST3 folder is not setup for an individual search or is the operating system at fault here?
I havent tried any other folders to see if its a common problem within the operating system.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
TIP
i often use the ST3 folder to send a song to another bit of software that recognizes chords, this places them visually on screen so i can easily just enter the chords in the text editor the name of the software is (Chord ai) and works on ipad and iphone it saves a lot of time if you cant be bothered working out chords youself.
Search does not work as expected
There are no options that could be set on the app folder regarding searching. At least not that I am aware of. I just tried it on my iPad and I can see the files in all 3 options. Maybe your spotlight index is not fully generated in iOS?
Check your search settings in iOS Settings > Search > Stage Traxx 3. Make sure both options are enabled.
peter Check your search settings in iOS Settings > Search > Stage Traxx 3. Make sure both options are enabled.
Thank you for this advice , i did not know this was an option in settings in the new operating system, but unfortunately everything is enabled but still no search results, i have made progress on my older iPad pro running iOS 17.7.6 as i have accidentally left the search just sitting there for a long period and results popped up eventually so my old iPad pro is actually working.
The iPhone 16 pro max running IOS 18.4 has also come good after a restart and is working as expected.
My IPad 9th gen IOS 18.4 is still not working after a restart and checking search settings, letting it sit there for ages still comes up with NO SEARCH RESULTS when in STAGE TRAXX 3 mode , I think the new search system is way to complicated , the old system is much more simpler and reliable and just worked.Some things should not be fiddled with if they work.
Thanks again Peter , i will talk to apple again and explain the issue.
Cheers and good luck with ST4, my 2 cents worth, please keep it as simple as possible and on stage user friendly.
