Q: Is there a way to search for a song while driving?

The only way would be by using Google Assistant voice commands - "OK Google, Play xxxxxx". You can't use a keyboard in Android Auto while driving, you should not really be reading anything from the screen at all in fact.

There is a 'search by letter' function in some categories, but that's just for narrowing down a longer list to the first letter of the name - and again not a good idea while driving.

Why will you want to do that? Please don't put yourself in danger, I will suggest you create a play list, or cue songs before driving, if you must play a particular song, then assistance should be the option. Try tagging your songs for better result.

Is that through the vehicle or the smartphone?

It uses the car's microphone and speakers in Android Auto (just like for making phone calls) but the actual voice analytic logic is done on the phone and your words are processed online via Google.
