My Question or Issue

I have the same issue!

(I don't have Premium, but I use the Desktop App on Windows 10 as well.)

Hopefully we will get this feature back; it is very helpful for people like me who have A Lot of playlists and would have to spend a long time scrolling when adding a song to a playlist. The announcement post about the new desktop version* mentioned "improving areas like playlist creation and curation", and for me, the feature we are missing definitely counts as an improvement.

Hey @kev568 @antheia 

Good news! This has now been implemented! Full details here

New in desktop app version 1.1.89.858 (and Web Player). This was also added to the mobile app a while back.

• You can now search the "Add to Playlist" menu using the search bar at the top

Good news indeed! Thanks for letting us know!

It might seem like an insignificant feature to others, but it is important to me. Very happy to have it back and improved!
