Mavit,

I've already raised an enhancement request for this:

BTW, this has not been assigned to anyone yet.

Ah, but that's only available from the top-level menu. I'd much rather
the search form were available at all times.

Consider searching through your library and building a playlist.

With the search form where it is, this process looks like this:

Goto SC home (or My Music
Move the mouse over "Search Music" so search box appears
Move mouse along to search box
Click to get focus on search box
Type in search terms (hit enter)
Drill down into search results (e.g. into an album)
Add Song to Playlist
(you are now in Home>My Music>Albums>[album name])
Repeat from start

If the search box were permanently displayed at the top somewhere, the
process would look more like this:

Click in search box
Type in search terms (hit enter)
Drill down into search results (e.g. into an album)
Add Song to Playlist
Repeat from start

Much easier.

One of the main attractions of the Squeezebox for me is searchability -
I can find tracks I didn't know I had by searching (did you know that
Ten Years Ago from Captured! Live by Little Charlie & The Nightcats is a
cover of a Buddy Guy song from I Walking Through The Woods from 1970)
