Searching

[Timmy Fox]

Okay, I have two suggestions to improve the ability to search for songs...

1. Lets say your in the main folder menu and wants to find a specific song, so you hit the search button and type in the title of the song, but do you find what you want? Probably not since it only searches for folders with that name, why not also search through the folders for songs with the matching title too? Then when you find your song and touch it to play, it plays the song from within the direct folder.

2. Why not also add support for adding Poweramp to the list of searchable items? Then of course you can filter out what to search in, e.g only search for folders, only search media library, only search for folders and songs within etc..

Thanks for the request.

1. is planned (called - full-library search here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=172)

2. not sure what do you mean by list searchable items? Do you mean android global search?

While it's possible, adding PowerAMP search results will do the massive duplication as these songs also exist in system media Library which is always searched by global search.

The only possibility for correct search here is if user disables system media scan for PowerAMP handled folders (in v2.0 this will not clear the Library lists in PA).

But this requires some techy skills from the phone owner (he/she need to understand difference between libraries, need to understand why the songs won't be in other players anymore and how to revert this behavior).

2. Yeh, the global search.. Well, I thought maybe by default only list results from the folders category and filter out everything from the system media library, then you can maybe change the filtering to not filter at all or filter the results from the folders category... If that is possible to do.
