The advanced search dialog in LMS web interface allows searching on
various things, are you looking for something more than that ?
(You will reach it by clicking on the search magnifying glass at the
top and then click the "Advanced search" link beside the search field)
If you are looking for more, is it only data available in the music
file tags you want to search in ?
Is it only in certain tags or in all available tags ?
Are we only talking about local music files or are you also taking
about searching in streaming services like Spotify and Rhapsody ?
Which user interface/remote would you like to use when searching ? IR
remote ? A computer ? A iPhone/Android app ? Something else ?
As far as I know, the only search related plugin is LazySearch and that
only works on the Classic, Boom, Transporter players using IR-remote.
Except for this, the only thing that exists is the built-in
functionality in SBS/LMS.
