Description
Problem Description
Currently, if I search one of my playlists (e.g., “Favorites”) using the artist's name (e.g., “Justin Bieber”), the search results only show songs that contain ‘Justin’ or “Bieber” in their titles, and do not include songs that match the artist's name exactly.
This completely skews the results and doesn't give me what I'm looking for.
Proposed Solution
Match BOTH the song title AND the artist name when searching songs in a playlist.
Alternative Solutions
Display a filter that allows you to match either one or both (title & artist).

Research direction
No file or test is named, so start by locating the playlist-search entry point in the Kotlin/Android app and tracing how song titles and artist names are matched. Verify that searching for an artist such as “Justin Bieber” includes songs by that artist as well as title matches, then run the relevant search tests or add coverage if the project provides no existing test.
