[Feature Request]: Enable Search in Library

[n1nja88888]

Preflight Checklist

• I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
• 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?

just like what youtube music did on its official mobile apps

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......
