Clicking PLAYLISTS and then SEARCH leaves the SEARCH box disabled. There seems to be no way to SEARCH through all PLAYLISTS. Thanks.

I cannot confirm this. The search is disabled for AutoDj though, which is intended to not play hidden tracks, which could be surprising.

I think they might mean searching from the root playlists node (i.e. with no playlist selected). Paul, is that right?

It should be extremely useful feature.

Through years I have made lots of playlists of different "personalities" and combinations. (I am a radio DJ and some friends parties) At the end of each event I save my playlist)

Sometimes I need to combine some of them with parts of other lists.

It would be extremely useful if I could search for the track on the root of Playlists tree and all lists containing this track to be hilighted. So I could enter each one and check the combination and the "personality" of each one list.

Thanks a lot

Of course it can be done through the Tracks general search but that way we would have one more search active.

Thanks again

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer.
Thanks for proposing.
Of course thanks for all this good work.

I'd like to invite you to take a look at PR #14182 smarties / Search Crates, with wihich you can convert a lineEditSearch to a complex searchmodel with multiple conditions you can create based on all track fields / track containers etc.
I'm keen on feedback.
