[Feature Request]: Enable Search in Library
Preflight Checklist
- [X] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
- [X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.
Problem Description
My playlist contains hundreds of songs and it would be hard to play a certain song.
Proposed Solution
Just like most other music apps do, to add a magnifying glass icon or something at the library page and when you click it, it will let you search a song by name or by artist or whatever within the current playlist.
Alternatives Considered
Nothing
Additional Information
No response
I feel like this has been requested before, yet I can't find the original issue /shrug
oh I remember now, it was about searching in the queue! quite similar ngl
anyways, this is a great QOL request, and it'd be great if it was easy to do
but simply adding a search bar ain't enough, we'd need to fully replace the entire UI for the playlist, at least the part that renders the tracks.
which, is not impossible, but it would possibly introduce a lot of bugs

do u mean we'd better not implement this as a plugin but a built-in feature? I don't really know about Electron but why u think it's no good if we just add a search bar on the library page?
Sure, I can add a search bar, easily.
Would it work? No Would it filter out irrelevant results? No Would it sort relevant results? No Would it be useless? Yes
Adding the search bar alone is 100% useless.
Also, what do you mean as a built-in feature and not a plugin?
Ofc it would be a plugin.

since u mentioned this feature requires a series of UI changes. I think all it needs is just a search bar and for the search results, we can re-use the layout of the song list. but yeah, I'm not sure if I miss out smth here......
I kindly ask you to reread my initial reply, until you understand it.
It has to be a plugin And not a feature that can't be turned off I agree with it
