Description

The command-palette search on GET /api/v1/books/page (its query parameter) no longer matched a book's filename, a regression from the previous client-side search. The spec behind that endpoint, BookSearchSpecification.matching, searched title, series name, ISBN, ASIN, authors, categories, and tags, but never the filename. This restores filename matching.

Linked Issue

Fixes #2293

Changes

  • Add a correlated EXISTS subquery over BookFileEntity to BookSearchSpecification.matching, matching when any of a book's file names contain the query (case-insensitive). Mirrors the existing collectionMatches helper; EXISTS avoids returning a multi-file book more than once.
  • Add BookSearchSpecificationTest (H2 integration test): filename match when title/author/series don't match, case-insensitivity, no false positives, and multi-file dedup.

Manual Testing Steps

  1. Ran the backend (dev profile) against MariaDB; created the admin user and a library.
  2. Placed a PDF whose filename token zqxwvtoken does not appear in its embedded title (Printable 4-page SVG (Letter)), then rescanned the library.
  3. GET /api/v1/books/page?query=zqxwvtoken returns the book. Because the token exists only in the filename, this confirms the filename match.
  4. GET /api/v1/books/page?query=printable (title) returns the book; ?query=notpresentxyz returns nothing. Confirms existing search still works and there are no false positives.

AI Disclosure

Claude (Claude Code) - investigated the regression and traced the real endpoint code path, wrote the spec change and the H2 integration test, and ran the backend checks and a live end-to-end verification. I reviewed and understand all changes.

Checklist

  • This PR links and implements an accepted issue.
  • This PR is a single focused change.
  • There are new or updated tests validating this change.
  • I ran just api check (just ui check is N/A: backend-only change).
  • I have added screenshots if there were any UI changes. (N/A: no UI change.)
  • I have disclosed any AI usage as per the organization AI Policy above.
  • I understand all of my submitted changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Book search now includes tags and associated file names.
    • File-name matching is case-insensitive, making it easier to find books when the query differs from the title or author.
    • Searches return each book only once, even when multiple associated files match.
    • Empty or blank searches continue to return all available books.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved search accuracy for queries matching associated file names or tags.

The command-palette search on /api/v1/books/page (the `query` parameter,
handled by BookSearchSpecification.matching) matched only on metadata
title, series name, ISBN, ASIN, authors, categories, and tags. Filename
was never considered, a regression from the previous client-side search
that let users find books by their file name.

Add a correlated EXISTS subquery over BookFileEntity so a book matches
when any of its files' names contain the query, mirroring the existing
collectionMatches helper. EXISTS keeps a book with multiple matching
files from being returned more than once.

Cover the behavior with BookSearchSpecificationTest against H2: filename
match when title/author/series do not match, case insensitivity, no
false positives, and single-result dedup for multi-file books.

Walkthrough

Book search now includes case-insensitive matches against associated file names. New H2 tests cover matching, no matches, case handling, blank queries, and duplicate results.

Book Search Enhancement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filename search predicate and validation
backend/src/main/java/org/booklore/service/browse/BookSearchSpecification.java, backend/src/test/java/org/booklore/service/browse/BookSearchSpecificationTest.java
BookSearchSpecification.matching adds a correlated EXISTS query for case-insensitive BookFileEntity.fileName matches. Tests validate filename matching, case handling, no-match behavior, blank queries, and single results when multiple files match.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bea00

The endpoint now finds visible books by filename, but case-insensitive matching may behave inconsistently under certain locale settings. The change is otherwise localized and preserves authorization and visibility rules, so it is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up to make casing behavior locale-stable.

25-25: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize the query with Locale.ROOT.

BookFilterSpecifications.base() passes non-blank queries to BookSearchSpecification.matching(). That method uses the JVM default locale at line 25, while the filename predicate applies database LOWER to BookFileEntity.fileName. With a Turkish default locale, I becomes ı, so the search can miss filenames such as INDEX.epub.

Use query.trim().toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).

Timestamp: 2026-05-22T03:20:45.559Z
Learning: In backend unit tests (Java files under backend/src/test/java), do not flag hardcoded placeholder filesystem paths (e.g., setting LibraryPathEntity.path = "/example") as violations when the value is intentionally unused for filesystem access. Only suppress the "no hardcoded paths" concern if the test does not perform any filesystem/network IO using that path (no reads/writes/Files.* calls or code paths that access the filesystem with that value); if the placeholder is actually used to touch the filesystem, flag it.

Applied to files:

  • backend/src/test/java/org/booklore/service/browse/BookSearchSpecificationTest.java

)

Add edge-case coverage for BookSearchSpecification.matching when the
query is null, empty, or whitespace-only. These short-circuit to
cb.conjunction(), so every persisted book must be returned; the test
guards that early return against future changes to the filename
predicate.

Persist two books in the null/blank-query test and assert both are
returned with containsExactlyInAnyOrder. The prior single-book,
contains() assertion could not catch a query that returned only one
book instead of every persisted book for a blank query.
