After checking, I've found the behaviour you've seen comes from the
internal SlimServer behaviour for searching artists. As such, I think
the Lazy Search plugin is behaving the same as the standard 'search'
function.

Looking at it, when searching ARTISTS (or CONTRIBUTORS as they're
internally represented in the SlimServer database), the role is never
examined and hence it will search artists, composers, conductors,
band/orchestra even if you turn off those settings in "server
settings->behaviour". The only time the server looks at those is when
performing a search for albums 'by' that artist (where 'by' may or may
not include composer etc), or when browsing artists.

You might think that's unintuitive, and the server settings page
implies it controls whether the artist will "be included in the artists
list for browsing and search" - which is at least slightly misleading.

I'd confirm that the lazy search behaviour you see is consistent with
the standard search behaviour (press the SEARCH button twice to easily
get back to the standard search), and if it is consistent you might
want to raise a SlimServer bug.

I think the treatment of COMPOSER etc might be somewhat incomplete, as
I've also noticed that searching for a composer in the "advanced
search" webpage will find tracks composed by that contributor
irrespective of your settings on the "server settings->behaviour page",
and yet it won't find it on the standard "search" web page. And, as
you've seen, it's somewhere in the middle for actual client players.
