Description

Problem Description

I tried both SimpMusic versions (Android and Windows) and the experience in general is fantastic, but it is true that I miss a search button in local playlist, as it is already implemented for Youtube playlists. I guess it is because the search engine used is the youtube one or something like that, but it would be fine

Proposed Solution

I suggest to include the search button the same way it is in Youtube playlists:

Alternative Solutions

If it is too difficult, maybe at least an alphabetic bar on the right with the different letters related to the song names, something similar to this:

Research direction

Start by locating the local playlist screen and the existing search button implementation for YouTube playlists. Compare their behavior and UI, then make local playlists support equivalent song search; verify the fallback alphabetic bar only if the matching search behavior is not practical.
