Description dev.lh 2024-07-18 12:20:39 UTC 
From time to time, you have a specific track in a playlist in mind to play next.
However, especially when your playlist is long, it becomes nearly impossible to find that track if a) you don't know the order of your playlist (which is most often the case) and/or b) your playlist is shuffled.

That's where a track search would make sense.

For now, the search can be limited to searching by track title only.
In the future, I can also foresee the need to search by artist, lyrics, and so on.
However, the most common case should be searching by title.

Proposed behavior:
When you activate the search (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> by default, or optionally from a button), you get a small interface that lets you enter the search text, and navigate to the next/previous match in the playlist.
The search automatically cycles from the end to the beginning if there is no further match.

Oh, and of course also a way to exit the search, i.e. by pressing <kbd>Esc</kbd> and/or an "exit search" button

Hi - thanks for your bug report! Merging this in with an existing feature request covering filtering and searching within the playlist.
