Sorry to complain, but could you put in a little on/off switch for now? My Raspberry Pi is taking a long time searching now, and the results don't really seem any better than before, just different, so I'd like to turn the new algorithm off for now to make Qobuz more useable...
I'm sorry to hear that. I think it's most effective if you enter precise search terms (eg. full artist name). I've been thinking about a switch myself, as I'm currently playing with much more aggressive filtering, which could potentially not please everybody.
Here's the question: if you search for "abba", are you expecting to find all tracks by this artist when drilling down Search/Tracks? Or would you be happy to go Search/Artists/Abba/Tracks instead?
The search results as returned by Qobuz would do the first: return all artists with "abba" in the name (from "abba (karaoke tribute band, as made famous by ABBA)" to "yabba!"), as well as all albums and all tracks by these artists. Obviously it's not all of them but currently 200 of each. That's 600 items when doing a simple search. Sorting them is expensive.
My next approach would be to filter out stuff which doesn't match in the name/title. Eg. "abba" would only show tracks with "abba" in the title, but not all tracks by that group. This can considerably cut down the amount of data before sorting. As filtering is cheaper/faster than sorting, this not only cleans up the final list, but speeds up things as well.
