Search function does not recognize local music library

Several days ago I restored my music library from a NAS drive to an updated ZENminiS. Music, playlists, album art, tags, and saved radio streams all seem in perfect order. I've been rummaging through the library sampling a wide variety and everything plays flawlessly. But today I tried the Search function for the first time and discovered it does not recognize any album titles, artists, or tags from the music library. Search does return artists, albums, and tracks from Qobus, but when I limit the search to local library, it always says, "No Library results for '[search term]'".

This happens with both the latest version of Innuos Sense and my.innuos.com.

There is ONE exception. Any artists, album titles, track titles, and tags for tracks that are in my playlists DO show up. Otherwise, nothing.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I wonder if Refresh Library Cache or Rescan Local Storage would work.

Thanks for your patience with yet another question.
 
Hmm, this is not something I have heard of before.
Do you mind sharing a couple of screenshots, for example one that shows an artist or an album that does exist in your library, then another screenshot showing the Search results for that same artist/album?
 
You can try this step below to rebuild your search tables. Let me know if it resolves your issue.
Use a browser, Google chrome works well, open the console and enter the command below. Chrome console may prompt you to type something prior to allowing the command.

To rebuild the search tables its f12 > console > window.librarySocket.emit('rebuild_search_tables',x=>console.log(x)) > Then press Enter

(to other users, please do not do this unless advised by our support team)

Thanks for both replies. I'm in no hurry so I'll post the screenshots Stephen requested before trying Dan's solution, in case they reveal something. Kraftwerk's album Autobahn has no tracks in a playlist. Dylan's album Freewheelin' does have tracks in playlists. I started with the track House of the Risin' Sun from a playlist called Grand Weepers. The really odd result is that a search for the Dylan track yields that playlist. But a search for Dylan's album gives two OTHER playlists with tracks from the album, but NOT Grand Weepers.
