Public bug reported: The audacious UI could really benefit from a search-filter text box, where each tab has its own small text box near the top, that when you type into that box it automatically filter/removes all rows that do not contain the series of characters you're typing. What I'm proposing is not a "column search", but a "row search" that is case and punctuation insensitive.
This feature would allow users to quickly locate a song in a long playlist, by simply typing any portion of its title (and also filter the playlist to one artist by simply typing a portion of their name). No button should be required: as the user types, each key press fires an event that re-filters the playlist according to what has been typed so far. Some songs could likely be located by typing a few as 3 characters before the entire playlist has been filtered down to that particular song.
