Extend search and add filters #35

Open lightonflux opened 3 years ago

lightonflux commented 3 years ago

Currently, only searching for albums is supported. The search should be extended and search for albums, titles, artists and playlists at once.

When this functionality exists it would be beneficial if filters could be used to limit the search (result) to all searches, or a combination.

UI inspiration/prior art:

Extend search box with drop down button: Bildschirmfoto von 2021-01-25 19-14-23

Add pop over with check boxes: Bildschirmfoto von 2021-01-25 19-14-11 (i know these are radio boxes, didn't find the correct image in time.)

I'm a developer with c/c++ and python experience, but I'd be lying to say that I've the time to take on this issue, unless someone really wants to hold my hand as I copy/modify this function and hope for the best.

Would a bounty be possible here? I'd like to search for songs to try to use this app in lieu of Spotify's electron app.

Searching for playlists would be a much needed feature.

I'm not using Spot anymore, but I'm could try to write some code for it later in May, if then is ok.

Sure! If I have time in the meantime, I might try to add it myself too. Though that is very unlikely
