When searching, both folders and audiobooks with the same name appear in results. The itemTypes filter only checked the `recursive` parameter but not whether a search was being performed. Since search calls pass recursive=false, folders were incorrectly included. Fixes TortugaPower#1502

Purpose
Fixes a bug where Jellyfin search results include both folders and audiobooks when they share the same name. Only audiobooks should appear in search results.
This is Jellyfin-specific — AudiobookShelf uses a dedicated
/searchendpoint that only returns books server-side, so it's not affected.Approach
One-line change in
JellyfinConnectionService.fetchItems— theitemTypesfilter now also checks forsearchTerm != nil, excluding folders from search results while preserving them for normal folder-level browsing.Related tasks
