# Search Improvements
Branch: `feature/search-improvements`
## Completed
- [x] Add playlists and audiobooks to search results
- Parse from MA API response
- Filter chips for each type
- Tile builders with navigation to detail screens
- [x] Unified Relevance-Based "All" Results
- Scoring algorithm implemented:
- Exact match: 100 points
- Starts with query: 80 points
- Contains query (word boundary): 60 points
- Contains query (anywhere): 40 points
- Fuzzy match: 20 points
- Bonus for library items (albums): +10 points
- Bonus for favorites: +5 points
- Secondary field matching (artist name in albums/tracks)
- Merged all results into single sorted list
- Type indicators in subtitle (e.g., "Artist • Album")
- [x] Smart Cross-Referencing
- Extracts unique artists from matched tracks/albums
- Filters to artists whose name contains query words (min 3 chars)
- Adds cross-referenced artists with lower relevance score (25)
- Avoids duplicates with direct search results
- [x] Past Searches Row
- Added SearchHistory table to database (schema v4)
- Saves successful searches (deduplicated, max 10)
- Displays as ActionChips in empty state
- Clicking chip performs that search
## Remaining Ideas (Lower Priority)
- **Library-only toggle:** Add switch to filter search to library items only (MA API supports this)
- **Voice search:** Add microphone button if platform supports speech recognition
- **Search suggestions:** Typeahead from library as user types
- **Quick actions:** Long-press result for play/queue options without navigating
- **Clear history in settings:** Add option to clear search history
