Description of the bug

After upgrading/migrating to version 10.11.0 (2025022405) searching for films using the English title no longer works and requires using the original language title.

Reproduction steps

  1. Import foreign film, my examples were initially Chinese but I have tested Spanish films as well
  2. Perform search for the English title
  3. No results
  4. Navigate to the film manually and copy the original title from the page
  5. Perform serarch using that copied title
  6. Film appears in results

What is the current bug behavior?

Films with non-english (or presumably just different) original titles cannot be found while searching the main title

What is the expected correct behavior?

Search should query both the original and main title

Confirmed behavior for the migrated database: Media can only be searched by the original title. Newly added movies are searchable by both the title and the original title.

A scan for missing metadata allows the item be searchable by both original title and title in migrated db.

I can confirm that a scan for missing metadata corrected the issue but for my library of 15,000 films this took several hours so it would be preferable to have this corrected in the initial migration, if possible.
