Erland, There are two features of Lazy Search that make it the superior
search tool -
1. The "lazy remote user" logic that allows the user to press a key
once rather than up to 4 times,
2. The search logic that first determines if the search is for Artist,
Album or Song, then the logic that displays the matches after 3
keystrokes  while allowing the user to refine the search and so reduce
the number of matches by adding keystrokes until the matches are at a
scrollable number.

The Touch search does not start searching until the 'done' key is
pressed, then asks My Music or Internet Radio, then Artist, Album etc,
then displays the list and it is only at this time that the user may
realise that the search needs to be refined and the whole process
started again after a bunch of back keystrokes.

I think a version of Lazy Search for the touch only using the Touch
remote would be the way to go as trying to combine the touch keyboard
and search results would be clunky.

A version for the web gui, based on the Lazy Search search logic would
also be good.
