Originally created by @SenorSmartyPants on GitHub (Jun 17, 2019).

Describe the bug
I have the movie '12 Years a Slave' in my library. If I use the API to filter to NameStartsWith=1 I get no results. All other alphabetic characters return correct results. I currently have no other numeric named movies or series in my library.

To Reproduce

Go to http://localhost:8096/emby/Users/{USERID}/Items/?NameStartsWith=1&Recursive=true&api_key={APIKEY}
no items returned.

Expected behavior

One movie item should be returned representing '12 Years a Slave'.

System (please complete the following information):

OS: Docker
Browser: Chrome
Jellyfin Version: 10.3.5
Reverse proxy: no

I’ll work this issue. NameStartsWith doesn’t work but SearchTerm does. The request contains the number the whole time but doesn’t return any results.

This is the cause https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/master/MediaBrowser.Controller/Entities/BaseItem.cs#L740. All numbers are zero padded to length 10. I'm not sure that we can change this without breaking something else.

I tried a NameStartsWith=0 because I thought this would return all the titles that are numeric. It does, but it returns everything, it continues on to the A, B, C, etc titles.

@cvium Is there any particular reason for 0 padding the numbers? I would like to fix this issue without breaking anything else.

I didn't write the code so I can only assume that it's a slightly misguided attempt at making natural sorting easier. The real problem is that SortName is the only column used for the search though.
