Advanced search in playlists

[mrbunni]

Why are the advanced search terms available in the normal search function not available in your personal playlists? I'm not sure about the desktop or web-application but it doesn't work on Android.

I'm referring to these advanced search terms.

I don't want to create new playlists for certain combinations of artists. If I have a large playlist with all of my favourite music under the rock category. Now let's say i'd like to play both Radiohead and Coldplay, I must create a new playlist instead of just searching "Coldplay OR Radiohead", maybe I want to listen to both Eddie Vedder's solo work and Pearl Jam, I would need to create seperate playlist for all these simple requests.

It doesn't seem like a lot of trouble to implement this since the functionality already exists in the normal search option.

The inconsistency here is a tad disappointing. You'd think that parameters entered into the normal search field would also apply to the playlist filter field, but apparently not. Would love to see this happen.

i don't know how to access my favourites within my list of favourites and line them up... sort of similar to above comment i guess... maybe i would make a playlist but not necessarily... i also have to say when i choose shuffle, which is 95 percent of the time, i don't want it to shuffle to choices made in one area... i feel like my shuffles are not plucked from the huge range i listen to...
