The bug

  1. Create an album and share it with another user
  2. Let the other user add e.g. a recently-recorded video
  3. Search your assets for videos limiting the time to "recent"
  4. The asset shared by the other user does not show up in the search results despite you having access to the asset through your album

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Version of Immich Server

Version of Immich Mobile App

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

Reproduction steps

1. See above

Relevant log output

No response

Additional information

I consider this to be a usability issue. I was searching for a specific video that I knew existed but I was not able to find it. So I asked the other person to perform the same search on his Immich account and the video showed up immediately. Searching my assets took me at least 3 hours also using manual search (through hundreds of assets).

Other users' assets are currently not part of the search.

That's somewhat obvious from my problem description.

It's still a usability issue making shared albums almost useless to me.

I'm in favor of reopening the issue.

It's not a bug, as there currently is no functionality intended to enable this, and there's already an open feature request for it.

Interesting, feature requests are discussions. I've searched issues.
