Anyone else's "Smart Content" lost its mind in D|S 4.9?

Ok this is driving me a bit batty. I'm running the connect version of 4.9 with a clean DB populated ONLY with products downloaded via connect and I swear to gawd my smart content has lost its mind, epecially on searches. I can search anywhere from a specific product name to a more generic term and i'm getting everything BUT what i'm putting in the search paramter window.

Example: I search> smart content> Victoria 4 elite

And I get back 436 entries and not a single one has ANYthing to do with V4. Um Wha?

I cant even find anything Vicky 4 elite searchnig under the regular contant tab either. You wanted Vicky? Here have Brock  and 11,000 orther entries instead cause... reasons.

I can't figure it out. Metadata has be reimported half a dozen times, yes everything is pointing to the correct folders. I can see said products in the folders if I browse to them, etc. Why do you hate me search function??  It's gone from being occassionally frustrating to downright no longer working.

    Search for "victoria 4 elite" or victoria 4 elite" instead.

    Thanks for the tip. That helped a bit. I did get the 4.2 stuff that time but i'm still getting male chacters for M6 and vicky 2 - 7 as well.

    My Smart content tab is showing 7162 products installed.  My search for "victoria 4 elite" turned up 4 products.  Three of those had  the words Victoria 4 and Elite in the product name.  The fourth one was Enamore Mage for Genesis.  I opened that product, selected one of the files and looked at the file's "Tags", which was a real eye opener.

    That's one of my criticisms of this whole Smart Content thing. It's just too much work trying to navigate in something that doesn't work.

    As I said in response to your other post, the CMS does broadly work. Daz is working through the products where the metadata is bad. If you aren't manually organising your content - which would rather contradict the idea that content organisation is too much work - then the CMS does offer a good way to catalogue and access content. And of course you can easily add your own categories if you do want to organise your files under a different scheme or add further divisions to the basic categories, without the risk of breaking updates or causing future conflicts carried by moving the actual files around.
