Can you communicate with a plugin on the server? If you can, something like Erland's SQL plugin might be useful (just do whatever you need to convert the user's input into a single query, then pass the query via CLI You're certainly right about server query performance being suboptimal. There's

What do you mean with track, artist and album at the same time? Do you mean you want all tracks, artists and albums that match a phrase? That's the default behavior in iPeng, so this would confuse me. If you want to enter all three, that's not possible in iPeng right now. -- pippin --- see

I believe no non-Web Interface will do this and it may even be that in 7.6 it will also be removed from the web-UI. The problem is that the CLI (the interface used by iPeng, all other apps and the SqueezePlay based players use) doesn't allow to send more than one search expression in a query.
