Let's assume there are multiple albums with a given word in the name:

# ls -1
'2016-05-09 - Stellaris Digital Soundtrack'
'2016-10-20 - Stellaris- Leviathans'
'2017-04-06 - Stellaris- Utopia'
'2017-09-21 - Stellaris- Synthetic Dawn'
'2017-12-07 - Stellaris- Humanoids Species Pack'
'2018-02-22 - Stellaris- Apocalypse'
'2018-05-22 - Stellaris- Distant Stars'
'2018-12-06 - Stellaris- Megacorp'
'2019-06-04 - Stellaris- Ancient Relics EP'
'2020-03-17 - Stellaris- Federations'
'2021-04-15 - Stellaris - Nemesis'

In such circumstances searching for a commond word, "stellaris" in this case, will show only 6 albums:

Indeed I hit the same issue sometimes.
I am not sure about the solution: just raise the limit (but it would make the user scroll to skip unrelevant sections, like artists in your case).
Or add a "show more" button that expands the results or just redirects to a dedicated page filtered by the search field and showing only artists or albums or tracks (like it was a long time ago)

This controls looks very much like the "similar albums" feature. Maybe adding left/right scroll arrows at the edges would be a good solution for both cases here? Something like:

This would be nice indeed!
Will investigate this.

Well I like the idea of the arrows to scroll, but unfortunately it does not solve the problem for artists and tracks. But we could add scrolling arrows for the similar albums control.

Maybe something like that?

(with infinite scrolling of course)

Looks good. I was always confused a bit that all three of these were displayed together.
