T9 Search support - Githubissues

Implement search support within each media grid – for now assume that media
grid contains all possible entries for selected folder. Later we’ll add
virtual folders for media meta fields (e.g. artist, genre etc.).

Pressing any numeric digit on remote begins a search. this will use T9
search on all items shown in media grid. search overlay osd will be shown
with topmost search item,

entered text will be shown in bold e.g. QUEen – as each digit is added grid
will be filtered beneath the osd. osd will show number of matches, and
allow back to remove last entered digit. Okay will close search osd and
highlight tompost entry in full list – i.e. filter is removed and user is
positioned at appropriate point in list. Back will close search without
highlighting – maybe just highlight top item, or item that was highlighted
when entering search (ideally).

up/down arrows within osd will scroll though list of matches in grid to
allow approximate searches.

example operation:

user shows list of artists
presses 7 (PQRS). List of artists beginning with PQRS is shown in grid.
"400 matches" is shown in OSD.
presses 8 (TUV). List of artists beginning with PT, PU, PV, QT, QU, QV, RT,
RU, RV, ST, SU, SV is shown in grid. "20 matches" is shown in OSD.
presses 3 (DEF). "Queen" is shown in OSD. "1 match" is shown in OSD.
presses okay. osd closes.
"Queen" is highlighted in full list of Artists

example 2:
user shows list of artists
presses 7 (PQRS). List of artists beginning with PQRS is shown in grid.
"400 matches" is shown in OSD.
presses 8 (TUV). List of artists beginning with PT, PU, PV, QT, QU, QV, RT,
RU, RV, ST, SU, SV is shown in grid. "20 matches" is shown in OSD.
presses down repeatedly to select "Queen" in media grid and OSD. "20
matches" is shown in OSD.
presses okay. osd closes.
"Queen" is highlighted in full list of Artists
