"Find in playlist" feature doesn't play filtered down playlist on iOS

On iOS, when you filter a playlist using "Find in playlist" and start playing one of the songs, you're still playing the full playlist, ie the rest of the songs that get queued up will come from the full unfiltered list.

When you do the same on the Desktop version of the player, only the filtered down playlist gets queued up, which is a useful feature and to me seems like the expected behavior.

Hey @pnut,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

At this point this feature is supposed to work as you've described. Search results from a playlist are not meant to be played separately from their parent playlist.

The experience with this feature differs between the desktop app and the mobile app, because the desktop app and the mobile app are fundamentally different.

But we can also pass the feedback on this matter to our developers if more users start reporting this as an unexpected behavior.

Hope this helps,

Cheers!
