Consider forcing search to check config-directory files #246

We already automatically search the save source, but now we also have network stream support which necessarily saves to the config directory. If you don't have local file search enabled, or it's not set to use the config directory, then it won't (or...might not...I haven't tested it) ever find the lyrics that you saved last time (unless the search path is modified as well as the save path when you search for network tracks? That would be a sensible thing to do and possibly a good middle-ground).

Regardless, I expect there will be some people that would be annoyed by this so possibly not worth it. This is exactly the sort of thing that metrics collection is intended to be used for (e.g how many people save to config directory?). Maybe I should add a "when was the last time you played a network stream track" metric for next time, so that I can correlate that with other options?
