[FR] Enhance Search Functionality Based on Current Tab

Open y-r-v opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. First of all, I would like to thank the developers for the excellent work on the Gramophone app, which is very beautiful and functional. However, I have been feeling a bit frustrated with the search functionality. Currently, the search field only looks for Songs, and it does not allow finding Albums or Artists directly.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if the search could adapt based on the tab the user is in. For example, if the user is in the Albums tab, the search should return results only for Albums. This would make navigation more intuitive and efficient.

Describe alternatives you've considered One alternative I considered would be to click on the options for the song and go to Albums or Artist. However, I believe that the solution of adapting the search automatically based on the selected tab is more practical and fluid.

Additional context
I am attaching an image of the VLC app, which handles this issue by allowing the search to adapt to the context of the selected tab.

This is one of the few things keeping from using Gramophone as my primary player. Search functionality for albums and artists is quite important to me.

Hi @Slug-Cat thanks for the bump, it helps me judge what people want. Sadly I'm short on time and as the nowadays sole maintainer I can't promise this will be done soon, though it's definitely on my list.
