Yes, you can do searches like this. However, because the Controller
does not have any alphanumeric keys like the standard remote, entering
the text to search on is a bit of a pain. You get a screen where each
letter must be selected with the scroll wheel. If you only want to
enter the first letter it's OK, but for entering entire words it's not
ideal.

As far as I am aware, the search will be performed according to how
SqueezeCenter is set up. So if you've set up SC to do searches within
words, that's how it'll work. (I personally have my SC set up to search
only at the beginning of words. For example, searching on "SON", it'll
find "SONg of satisfaction" and "no SON of mine", but not "king
crimSON". Set it to search within words and it'll find "king crimSON"
as well).
