# Feature description: Not sure if it’s already possible and I just don’t know how but it would be nice if I could search for artists, albums and songs within a playlist. ### Problem solved: Sometimes I just want to play the songs from a specific artist within a playlist. ### Other application solutions: There already is a little search icon in e.g. the top tracks of an artist. The same could be added at the playlist screen. ### Screenshots / Mockup: ![Screenshot_20230806-053503](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b5d7b4234f9d7d44994d4554cbbaa77456e9b6d5.png) This is from the top tracks screen. ---

While I can add the search it would only search in a generated description and not the actual artists or albums as the data is just not there. I’m also not sure that searching in playlist is the best way to play a song from an artist, why not use the artist view or the global search? ---

Sorry, didn’t make that clear enough. I want to find all the songs from an artist that are in one specific playlist. So if I have 5 songs from Artist A in Playlist 1 I want to be able to play only those 5 songs. I hope that explains it better, if not let me know and I’ll try again Edit: I think this explains it better: I have a playlist with fast/heavy songs I like and one with slow/soft songs. If I want to listen to all the fast/heavy songs from artist A I want to go to my playlist, search for Artist A and play those songs. ---

Thank you for implementing this. I noticed two bugs. 1. When pressing play in the filtered list the normal playlist starts and not the filtered one and 2. When tapping a song in the filtered list a different song starts playing (video below). When I tap the add to queue button it correctly only adds the filtered songs. **Logs:** removed **Video:** removed ---

Thanks, will be fixed in next release. BTW you can change the button order in the settings, I don’t know why but your compact player button order hurts me 😛 ---

Thanks. I usually use the big player or android controls so I never bothered changing it xD Edit: Fixed it 😉 ![Screenshot_20230829-151200](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/5/51c2a975bb3344c1393f21aec549e6fb76f9c9f5.png)
