Search does not work as intended on Mobile Lightroom. Android. Version v11.4.5.

When searching, for example a certain focal length, the results vary based on if you click on a suggested tag, or if you write it all on your own and press search. 

 

For example.

I have an album with 417 photos. 29 of then are taken with Nikon 300mm f4 lens. The information page shows the correct infromation of the lens.

That is "300 mm (300.0 mm f/4.0)"

 

When I try to use the search bar, I get results in this way:

 

"300mm" 0 photos.

"300 mm" 0 photos

Writing "300 mm" but instead of pressing search, I click the recommended tag that says "300 mm" 417 photos

"300.0mm" 0 

"300.0 mm" 29 

Writing "300.0 mm" it will not give a recommended tag for "300.0", instead it gives a tag "300.0 mm f/4.0" and clicking it will give 0 photos

"300.0 mm f/4.0" 29 

 

Other forms of "300.0 mm f/4.0" with "300mm" or "300 mm", "300.0mm", "f/4" Etc, will give 0 photos or all 417, but I think that is as it's supposed to be.

 

So basically the tags do not work and searching for focal lengths doesn't work correctly. This same thing happens with all of the lenses and their tags. 

 

None of this happens on my Apple ipad. 

The search works on ipad as intended and it used to be the same with android. I have not used the app in a while so I don't know how long it has been this way. 

Ipad gets results like this:

 

"300mm" 0 

"300 mm" 29

"300 mm" pressing the tag that says "300 mm"  29

"300.0mm" 0

"300.0 mm" 29

"300.0 mm" pressing recommended tag "300.0 mm f/4.0" 29 

"300.0 mm f/4.0" 29

 

So clearly something in android version is wrong. I have reinstalled, cleared cache, turned phone off, etc. Nothing helps.

 

I don't need further help, just letting you know so you can fix the bugs.

I will gladly accept a year of free lightroom for all these hours i used testing the bug and writing this. Thank you. :]

    Connected my ipad to internet and apparently it had older version. Now the search works differently.

    Tags seem to work, but the same text as the tag written in search gives 0 photos. 

    Great.
