Amarok/Manual/Playlist/PlaylistFiltering

Overview

The Search playlist function in Amarok is very powerful, as it allows you to search for different tracks by various constraints. The search results limits what you can actually see, which makes it easy to queue up wanted tracks, or remove them from the playlist.

Edit Box

When you type something in the field, Amarok will search in your playlist and mark matching tracks, artists and etc.

Examples

The first track that matches the current search will be highlighted:
