Searching

To search for a song in the current playlist, press ⌘-F (command-F). To search for a song in the Library, press ⌘ -F.

Numeric Searches

To search for a number like "Song ID", just type the number. If you *only* type digits into the search field, it will be interpreted as a number and NOT as a string, and it will search numeric fields only, automatically. eg: typing "52" will find "Song ID" 52, but will NOT find "The B-52s". To search for NON-numeric numbers, add a space to the end, eg, typing "52 " (note the space?), this will NOT find "Song ID" 52, but it WILL find "The B-52s". Note the Date column is NOT numeric.

Targeted Searches

You can search only on a specific column by putting the name of the column first, followed by a colon, followed by your search term. EG: if you search for "bb", you'll get all the songs that you marked as in the key of B flat, but you'll also get all "Abba" songs right? but if you type "key:bb", then you will ONLY search the "Key" column, and only get results in the key of B flat. Note this does not combine with numeric searching, since it is already rather targeted to search only on numeric fields. To search for something that actually has a colon in it, just put in two colons in a row.
