Search should match on exact titles first

[winterbird-code]

It seems that this plugin likes to match the longest title containing the search words.

Some examples:

• "Saki" is matched as "Saki: Achiga Hen - Episode of Side-A"
• "Sangatsu no Lion" is matched as "Sangatsu no Lion (2017)"
• "Seikai no Senki" is matched as "Seikai no Senki II"

and so on. I think the matching logic would get much better if it first attempted to find an exact match before attempting current logic.

It gets worse: I added Nana to my library and AniDB downloads metadata (most notably thumbnails) for some hentai called "Night Shift Nurses: Ren Nanase". Because it contains Nana near the end I suppose.

What version are you running, @Rapti? And do you have any other plugins enabled?
Also, please give me one example file path that show this behaviour.

With this plugin alone there should be no way "Nana" gets matched to "Night Shift Nurses: Ren Nanase", as far as I know.

I'm using Jellyfin 10.10.5 and version 9.0.0.0 of this plugin.
The folder is named Nana (2006) and the episodes within are named Nana E01.mkv and so on. I just completely removed my library and added it again, disabling all Metadata Providers but AniDB, and completely cleared Jellyfin's cache folder. It still happens.

Hmm, I can't reproduce that...

I made a file /media/anime/Nana (2006)/Nana E02.webm and created a library pointed to /media/anime with only AniDB (and Embedded Image Extractor and Screen Grabber as Image fetchers) enabled. It matched correctly. In a library with everything enabled it also worked correctly.

I tried this out again on a fresh installation and discovered that it only happens when the library is configured as "Mixed Movies and Shows". With just Shows, the correct thumbnails are downloaded.

Mixed Movies and Shows is pretty broken, there's almost no reason to use it. It used to be named "Other" which I think was more appropriate.

[Rapti]

I see ... I'm new to Jellyfin and figured that would be the best fit for my Anime library because most are shows with multiple episodes, but some are just single movies. Gonna be using Shows then. Thanks for your time!

When I use "Mixed Movies and Shows" and add [anidbid-4143] to the folder name, no thumbnails are downloaded at all it seems.

[nalsai]

Seems like the AniDB plugin handles "Mixed Movies and Shows" as just "Movies". Nobody has ever tested it or complained.

"Shows" works normally with everything that is on AniDB.
I think even "Movies" is rarely used with this plugin.
