Description

  • [✅] I carefully read the contribution guidelines and agree to them.
  • [✅] I checked if the issue/feature exists in the latest version.

I use newPipe primarily to listen to music which is why I usually only use it as a media player.

I have playlists with hundreds of songs in them and I thought it would be awesome and pretty trivial to add a search in playlist button or something so that you could find your songs and start the playlist from there easily.

Research direction
The issue requests a search/filter functionality for playlists in the NewPipe Android app. To implement this, start by examining the playlist related UI components, likely in the `app/src/main/java/org/schabi/newpipe/playlist/` directory. Look at `PlaylistFragment.java` and the playlist adapter to understand how the list is rendered and populated. Consider adding a search bar in the layout (e.g., `fragment playlist.xml`) and filtering the playlist items based on query. The existing database queries may need modification to support search; check the `NewPipeDatabase` class. Review comments in the issue for any additional user expectations.
