[FIXED] Is it possible to tell Jellyfin to search also the original title? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is "Guerre Stellari". I'd like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original name is present in the metadata, it just isn't used as a search parameter. Is there a way?

EDIT: I understood the problem: i'm stupid

Star wars episode IV had both the translated and the original title, and was correctly find when searching "star wars", but episode V and VI didn't have the string "star wars" in the original title! and this is why jellyfin didn't find them. I edited the metadata and added it, now it works perfectly. Thanks to everyone!

I'm from Spain.

But I know that in Latin America they also used to change the title of some media sometimes. Funny enough they used different titles than in Spain.

For instance, the movie "White Chicks" in Spain is "Dos rubias de pelo en pecho" and in Latin America is "¿Y donde están las rubias?".

Tell me about it. I've got movies with the Spanish title, and the LatAm cover art with yet another title. Ended up switching Jellyfin to English just to be able to find my movies
