I think it depends.
Searching is less important in smaller libraries and I suspect most
users have libraries of a few thousand tracks and not 100 000 tracks.
Searching is only important if you know what you are looking for, if
you want to find something interesting but doesn't know exactly what,
browsing is preferred.
Historically, searching has never worked out of the box through any of
the player interfaces. It has worked pretty good through the web
interface and also through iPeng but not through the IR remote or
SqueezePlay. IR remote works if you install the third party LazySearch
plugin but it's still a bit limited since it's only supported on the
one line display of the Classic/Boom/Transporter. Due to this, I
suspect most users are used to browsing and not searching.
To me personally, there are other things that are more important than
improved search functionality, for example artist images downloaded
automatically from internet.
