Backend (migration 0046_plex_people_search): a new people_text column (cast +
director names, de-duped) is folded into the generated search_vector at weight B,
so the top search box finds titles by an actor/director name and ranks them above
summary-only mentions. New /api/plex/people endpoint returns the cast/crew matching
the term (name prefix or word-start) with a film count + a headshot (pulled from one
representative film's live metadata; image bytes disk-cached).
Frontend: PlexBrowse shows matching people as virtual cards above the grid; clicking
one adds them to the actor/director filter (multi-value, from the C1 work) and clears
the search box so you land on exactly that person's films. Answers the 'why does
"drew" match Rambo?' confusion — it was matching the word in the synopsis; now names
are searchable. i18n en/hu/de.
⚠️ Prod needs a Plex re-sync after deploy to populate people_text (search_vector
regenerates automatically once the column has data).

"""Plex: make cast/crew names searchable

Revision ID: 0046_plex_people_search

Revises: 0045_plex_filter_meta

Create Date: 2026-07-06
|
|
|
|
Adds `people_text` (the item's cast + director names, space-joined) and folds it into the generated
|
|
`search_vector` at weight B — between the title (A) and the summary (C). So the top search box now
|
|
finds titles by an actor/director name and ranks those above films that merely mention the name in
|
|
their synopsis. A generated column's expression can't be altered in place, so we drop + recreate it
|
|
(and its GIN index). `people_text` is populated on the next Plex sync.
